you make
me feel
like
this song
by
The Emotions
light
happy
at peace
you make
me feel
like love

I thought
You would
Leave me
Alone
Was that too
Much to ask?
I know we have
Been together
For a long time
Time does not
Always heal
Time does not
Always reveal
What is hidden
Beyond the
Veil
Time does not
Mean love
Which is what
I was in
Search of
What is what
I have
Now found
In many aspects
Of my life
As of right now
**** here
We go again
Arguing
Being combative
With each other
I am the first
To admit that
I do not know
Everything
What I do know
Though
Is I am right
I am right
As the
Moon at night
I am right
You know it
Which is why
You bicker
And nag
At me
Consistently
Trying to
Disrupt my
Happiness
My peace
My present
You manage
To ruin
Moments of
Clarity
You are my
Worst nightmare
My greatest
Fear
But you are
Always
Wrong
I am powerful
Not helpless
I am growing
No longer
Small
The part
I played
For so long
I can be
In need
And indeed
Still be
Powerful
I am all
Of the things
I run towards
And all
Of the things
I run from
I am
All
I always
Was
I am right
I always
Was

i had to
get out of
there
before i
drowned
in the desert
having
swallowed
enough dirt
back to back
i was drowning
so deep in
the depths
of the desert
i craved
for water
the water i
held on to
afraid to release
the water
i was
searching for
came to
the surface
it poured
out
reviving
the barren
valley
bringing back
the greenery
it was once known
for
the greenery
it had not
felt in
so long

Be careful
Of the angle
You choose
To pierce
Through
Not every
Wound
Heals as fast
As you have
Grown to
Expect
Your intentions
Are good
Yet
You are oblivious
To the privilege
You carry
Subconsciously
Unknowingly
Well
There is an air
Of confidence
You possess
That makes
Many
Bow down
It is only
A costume
To you
Those closest
To you
Know the
Real you
The sad thing
Is
Deep down
You know
Already
Know the
Real you
Too

Is this an
Actual explanation?
Or heightened
Trepidation
Surrounding
Hounding
Me
I feel good
Depending
On the hour
The minutes
The seconds
Turn tides
Like Fundy
Clouds try
To drown
Out my sunny
Days
Making moves
Steady making
Waves
Why am
I so insecure
Somehow I'm
An Aries
Ain't that
Peculiar
Sick and tired
Of signing these
Dotted lines
Not superficial
I'm just trying
To make
The climb
Feels like
Logically I'm
Not running
Out of time
….
I just feel
A little
Behind
Not trying
To romanticize
Sadness
Or be too
Dramatic
I suppressed
It all for years
Now I find
Myself in a
State of madness

Before the world
Robs me of
My dreams
I must put
Up a fight
I cannot
Allow it
To steal
My joy
Without
A fight
I cannot
Help that
I seem
To shine
This bright
