Tris 
Death,Loss,and Love 
All came to me on swift wings 
Abnegation was my innocence 
Selflessness was too far away 
But bravery was close enough 
Birds surrounded me with my guilt 
Then he helped shelter me from 
Darkness 
But it wasn’t enough to save me 
I knew I couldn’t outrun fate 
I knew I couldn’t stop it 
I wanted freedom 
But the birds kept dragging me down 
Destruction only followed me 
Death was always around the corner 
And it came fast 
With hate and a bullet 
And only emptiness was left 
No one could save me 
Abnegation,Erudite, and Dauntless 
All I am is 
DIVERGENT
Four 
Death,Loss,and Love 
All within a lifetime 
My father shred me 
In the darkness that was 
Uncertainty 
He was the dark side 
Of my life 
I needed a way out 
And found it in Dauntless 
Then she came and 
Changed my view and world 
And everyday was just slipping 
Out of the clutches of death 
Then she was taken 
And I was crushed by the pillar of guilt 
She was my world 
And she was flushed away 
In a world of violence and Treachery 
I was selfless 
But I want to be Selfless,Kind,Brave, 
Intelligent,and Honest 
But all I am is 
Dauntless
