January Writing Prompts 4: Surrender

Surrender to the heart

which yearns to be unapologetic.

Let thunder's brontide

awaken recklessness,

rumbles across a horizon,

rain dribbles down glass,

electric flickers stab the sky,

adust like whiskey straight.

Make it 100 proof

for all the times I let

this life tear me down.

Make it 100 proof

despite how he tried

to water me down.

I’ll surrender to every

wild instinct summoning storms,

every rush of rebellion,

every refusal to apologize

for who I am.
