Capturing...

Attention

By Risa LuthorPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Now, that I have your attention.

Figuring out that I use my elements to express myself and the things around me.

Ice is my element that I stick to closely,

Lightening is my structure that I work around.

Slowing everything down and waiting for someone to come and get it.

I can wait here all night.

I won't lean on another person for support,

try and control that which is not controllable.

Breathe me in,

Breathe me out,

Take your pick on what you are going to do.

I'm a patient person when I see something that I like,

it's a matter of will you rise to the challenge if there is even a challenge.

Frozen in time,

I do what I do out of love regardless of how I am viewed by so many.

Sometimes, somethings just aren't right and I follow the silence.

When I feel like something isn't right,

I pull away and become silent,

Coping with what is happening around me.

Trying to piece everything together to get a clearer picture.

I've searched for answers all this time, yet never knowing what the questions really were.

I never had a peace of mind before,

This is a first.

Seeing the truth that is hidden in the depths of others minds.

What has begun,

We do not know.

But it is too late to stop the process.

I've walked through the shards of glass and never got cut,

I've walked through the fire and felt nothing at all.

Everything that I once would have died for has all changed.

Everything is beginning to justify by the means.

Grief is a freight train,

But only if you let it be.....

The curse that exist,

Haunts my once sacred dreams.

I use to want to understand the lessons,

I use to want to find myself before I became lost.....

And I thought that I might have to change the world for you, just to make you see me.

I know that now, that was never the case and I could have run forever.

My secret heart forbidden,

The stitches that hold it together are locked.

But you can't pull the heart back to the body with just a voice.

Let's see if you can get my attention?

You might be able to do it easily.

When your ready come and get it.
