We are all survivors of some struggle, and we shouldn't let those things from the past drag us down. Enjoy.","content":"_The Sound_\n\nThe sound of ravaging time  \nPins me beneath a blanket of honey;  \nI drown under the sickly-sweet smell  \nOf truth, lies, and defeat.\n\nMy own pride and vanity  \nHave led me down the path I take;  \nEchoes of a younger mind  \nStir in me a hopeful pause.\n\nI listen for the whispers found  \nInside this darkened well;  \nDrink in the sweet melody  \nOf lessons I ought have learned.\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)  \n\"The Sound\" by bhscorch is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/386712-poem-67-trapped.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/406416-poem-69-inside-of-a-box.json"}}
