Stop being scared. Everyone else is scared, too. Just knowing that should make you Less frightened.

We’re All Naked
I see you. With your heart of stone I see you With your gilded mask I see you With your diamond tears I see you With your blazing tongue I see you With your glass smiles I see you With your empty eyes I see you With your fragile hands I see you With your broken lies I see you With your stooped shoulders I see you. Everything you are, Everything you are not. I see you And I care.

I see you.
It’s much easier to clean up the candle drippings once the wax has congealed. But that may take a moment. Go to bed angry, it’s okay.

Calm down
I have so much in me. But most of it I’m not brave enough to write. The honesty from others nourishes me, the honesty from myself terrifies me. Thank you.

Envious of Courage
The flame from the candle in front of me is dipping and waving quickly. I feel that maybe it’s anxious about it’s impending death.  Swaying up and living voraciously, because it knows it has only a few hours left to swallow the fruits of the air that it breaths.

Lit
Real.        Even if it’s mean. I don’t care if           you hate me. Just please never lie to me. That’s the sexiest thing I know                                                 to exist.

Crave
The dappled light hits my face As lay in bed My head on the pillow Causing my cheek to push up into my eye        And create wrinkles there. An adolescent robin used to hop On the fence That I gaze upon He’s been absent, I wonder what has become of him        And now, about him, I worry. However, the shade tree will die, as will the robin, as will I.
