(A/N: okay, I myself am slightly confused on where this one came from, and I know the whole story behind it/where I was trying to go with it. also, it can be difficult to understand just exactly WHAT I'm talking about if you're not in my head. God lets hope not. this is a mess, welcome to my mind. comment if you're confused and I'll try to explain!!)

blood

does not mix

with sweat.

tears

should not fall

down happy cheeks.

and now more than ever

I understand

what it means to say

'I have poured my

blood,

sweat,

tears,

into it."

for a passion is special.

you'd drop everything

if you were to lose it.

it's why you

get up in the morning,

it is your drive,

why you 'do better'.

it makes you happy...

because when it

is your passion?

you would be willing

to die for it.

or bleed,

and cry,

and work for it

it matters so much to you.

I would know.

I've done all three.

Lauren 💛
