If I were a tree,
my roots would tunnel towards you.
My branches,
stretching for just one touch.

If I were a flower,
my petals would blossom at the sound of your laughter.
My thorns,
removed by the tenderness of your voice.

If I were a river,
my stream would carve for you a way through mountains.
My water,
purified by your resilient spirit.

I don't want to die
I just need something to make me feel alive.

Ladybugs

On my willow tree
So colourful yet dull
and listless
I pluck them off the tree leaves
into my pocket they go
because I’m just a girl
I don’t know better
I make them
Sit inside my room
in a little cloudy glass of water
they don’t survive
I didn’t know but
they’re pretty and I
just wanted to look at them I.
Didn’t know
The convenience of my room.
Sorry, little creatures.  
I’m so sorry.
So sorry.

What if you fall?
But what if you fly?
You'll never know
'Til you give it a try
It's holding you back
Fears whispering lies
Your wings wouldn't flap
If they weren't meant for the sky.

the keyboard speaks
and I am silent
but we are joined
at the fingertips.
