Crash and Burn

we crash and burn
and fall and die
for years and years
before we shine
brighter than we ever thought
we could and then…
return to dark.

  1. Interesting...crashing and burning for years before we shine. Before we find ourselves.

  5. "we crash and burn

    The rhythm here is fantastic...the "and's" really work well together, too. The sound pair of "die" and "shine" is a great feature.
