Mix-match...

Serenity and opulence,
Bravery and magnificence.
I ask thee for pardon,
For I am more than you.
Innovation and desire,
Glory and conspire.
I ask thee for a path,
For I desire to learn more.
Sun passes baton to night,
Excitement drowns in fright.
Meek turns into might,
And yet,I take the last bite.
Mission and dream,
Beautiful and keen.
I ask thee for truth,
For I am a residue of lies.
Friction and silk,
Ivory and milk.
I ask thee for peace,
For my search ends there.
Hope flickers and dies,
I refuse to let go of my ties.
Hanging by my heart,
I pray for a flame to start.
