25/F/TX God is working, that is a reason to smile
i think every little girl wakes up one day, and realizes she’s a bit different. her hair, her nose, her skin. i think every little girl wakes up, and realizes nobody holds the door open, nobody follows her around on the playground or picks her to be in a small group. i think every little girl grows up, and realizes she’d rather be alone anyway, she should start believing that now.

little girl
Oh how I crave the innocence of wide eyes They search around for good things, Holy things Oh how I crave the innocence of laughing at oneself So loud and joyful, a full and holy melody Oh how I crave to protect the innocence of these wide eyes and laughing songs Innocence, holy and good

Innocence
Sometimes I’d rather close my eyes and enjoy the ride Other times I’d rather fight to be in the drivers seat Both are overwhelmingly apart of who I am But when the scale tips, who will win? This is height vs width Fight vs flight Nature vs nurture Ying vs Yang Two in the same The most vile form of pain To be pulled by all for limbs at the same time That’s pain Pain that I would like to lay down So I will do just that Handing you the keys, closing the door on my way out Watching the car move down the street as I wave I think that’s what I’ll do

be there...or here
oh the freedom in being the happiness that unfolds I release it all I release the tightness in my hands I release the tension in my jaw I release the breath I’ve been choking back I release it all oh the joy in being the relief that follows I release it all I release the creases in my face I release the tears in the trenches of my soul I release the smile I’ve been punishing oh to be to breathe to stretch to smile oh to simply be

being
I don’t know what to name it It’s such a beautiful emotion Provoking my heart to race against itself Fooling my eyes I can’t comprehend it’s weightlessness It’s almost too freeing My breath leaves me My palms sink into the earth, it’s perfect Everything is perfect There is hope here There is life here It’s an indescribable emotion

A life of constantly fighting off grief This life of longing My life is reaching, stretching, sprinting for more But what is more? It’s aimless, emptiness It’s this life of mine, longing, grieving, longing This is a life of longing

Life
what a life it is to live the desire of fierce solitude the desire of a human touch fighting for a place among you to convince you you are lonely but you are not alone

my space
it’s quiet your back is in the grass hands playing with the blades the sky above you the wind dances your eyes are closed everything is slow breathing so slow there’s nothing else no heavy heart no overworked mind no empty feelings its quiet and there’s nothing else

epiphany
there is quite a bit of anger in knowing that I am second in every relationship, every friendship i win second place, every single time is it anger or embarrassment? a mix anger from the moment my eyes can recognize the loosen feelings in yours embarrassment from the realization that our eyes have connected this sick game, the only one I seem to lose first, a place I would never come to know second, a place I would never come to leave

second place
my soul aches to meet you maybe in passing, a small moment of connection my soul aches to meet you when we are both ready, that’s when we’ll meet all of our edges smoothed over, renewed that’s when my soul will meet yours
