lived better

I believed in
the future
a hope
I lost verdant spring to fall’s winter preparation
I swallowed the bitter poison of disappointment like mothers milk
It was my

Baptized and reborn as a distortion

Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists. I like this poem too as it exposes the subject and makes him/her vulnerable. It's not easy to evaluate ourselves, but we must in order to grow and change. Lovely work.
