A Return To Life

I never understood how
  I wanted to find beauty in
                     self doubt
I want to rise
  like the bravest bird among the
     shifting clouds
Love may soothe my fears
           but
they will not abate
if I don't believe in myself

I will not let this sadness consume me
  The Romantic Drunk
has found meaning in the sun
                      even in the coldest of raindrops
 Standing tall, I will be
like every tree faced with
             aging
  I will be a better person
having gained these scars

Whether nature's scent upon her hair
or the dull reality of morn greets me
         I will welcome either
  for I am
                              born again

                Love may cure me
  or even break my heart
                 I accept that

the story you're telling with these few lines is sad but has a positive outlook on the future which is painted with each words. The words you choose are you brush or your rage. They clean away your sadness by providing and nurturing a future that is so close but yet so far. Great work! :)

The last three lines stand out to me. It seems to break from your usual style, but that's not a bad thing. You did an excellent job on this one. :)
