We need
A world where women
are not objectified
but are instead dignified

Because a world without women
would be a wasteland

Just when
the  
caterpillar
  thought
his world
    was
over, he
became a
butterfly.
      We
  live on
       a
blue planet
     that
   circles
around a
   ball of
fire next to
  the moon
that moves
       the
oceans, and
  you still
     don't
   believe
       in
   miracles?

Tear away
The surface
Dragons
By your side,
They breathe
Fire into
Your mind,
Remember
When you
Once felt
Alive...?
They mask
The truth
Lying there
Beneath
Fiery
Propaganda
Hidden in
False warmth,
Cold heat,
Breathe deep.

We hide behind
These facades
That conceal
Our faces,
True faces,
From the world.

Seeing is not the physical looking
but a rare and delicate art
the substance is sadly missing
unless it's accompanied by the heart.

Reached
For your light
In the black
Of night,
Thought I
Felt it faintly,
Your hand
Fell into mine,
Heartbeat
Frozen,
Would
Your heart
Melt into
Mine...
Maybe
We are
Onto
Something
Real,
This time.
