to be lasted over, but never met.
to be desired fiercely, but never held.
a fantasy. a fetish.
they see you as a threat.

they dream the dream of your idea,
all you represent.
they reach to touch you freely,
but flinch when you touch back.

because they feel it:
your wholeness is too heavy
to carry on their back.
your layers too tangled
to play with just one thread.
your words anchor too deeply
to catch in fishing nets.

you scare.
you amaze.
you trigger.
so they retreat instead.

they give up before even trying
to walk a mile with you.
because they see
the space you take
just being you.

Silas McKenney
You were drawn to my shine,
To the light in my steps, my aura, my time.
You walked beside me all the while,
Curious-why do I smile?

I spoke of joy, of a heart that glows,
Of peace within, the love I know.
But you had none, you’d lost your spark,
And sought to ***** out all my dark.

You didn’t want to see me grow
You only came to steal my glow.
Sappy lover

are you ready?
who cares
you’ll never be

just come,
remember
how great it feels to be
you
in your skin
in your energy
feel it all

stop running girl!
there is no final destination.
you are already home.

go clean up that mind
throw away those limiting beliefs
try on your values
do they still fit?
the person you’re becoming?
the ever shifting shape

they don’t?
that’s great!
throw them away!
reevaluate your inner wardrobe ladies and gentlemen,
we don’t have to keep anything that doesn’t fit anymore!

what is this game
you wish to play?
what is this thing
you take away?
you want my light?
to feed your darkness
you want my love?
to feed me lies

you take everything.
and give nothing in return.

you’re nothing but a thief

thief.
Have you ever been so blinded by love that you ended up stealing from yourself?

the most selfless act of all?


letting go.


fear holds tight, it clings
love lets go
to love is not to need, to love is not to own, to possess, to demand, to expect
to love is letting go of all of that, of all of you and your expectations

when will we learn to love without demanding love in return?

I like to see the cup half full,
Even when it’s full of ****

each second
each word
each thought
all feelings
they’re earned!

better start seeing life for the blessing it is

or in sorrow,
forever you’ll live.

resentful, remorseful
regret
remove all these Rs
you are your own threat.

start from love
and finish right back

the circle of life,
love always comes back.
Have the courage to live in love, not fear.
I promise it’s worth it!
