My words do not rhyme but my tongue strays away from lies.

Stop giving people the power to make you feel like you are hard to love.

You not loving yourself is a crime!

I am not okay today

I've been underwater
about five beats longer
than I would like
Starving for air
yet my lungs
are already full

My vision blurry
Fragments and flashes
of life
and light
and darkness

I am not okay today
For no reason at all
I am not okay

But I will be.

I wonder if my screams
Induced by your abuse
Haunt your dreams.

She was born of a forest
And rests her heart  
Shallow in pooled dreams
Dripping further than her tears
Falling to soft earth.

She eats rosed lilies
And pickled cattails
All while
Her footsteps leave no absence known
As her lithe nymph body melts into foliage.

And her arms permanently reach
Into the void of
All unknowable things.
Grasping at gossamer threads,
Like thoughts that can't be spun together.

I've been loved.
I've been lost.
But never have I ever loved and lost myself this way.
"Never, ever."
