Staring out from my porch
I can feel the breeze
From the fan touching my skin
I wish words that are spoken
Is done without hurting feelings
Breezy feeling chills come
Thinking about past event
Beneath this surface
I will rise above turmoil
Breezy feeling
Emotions rise
Silence in the air
Serenity is near
Voices sometimes
Are not clear
Raging waters
Tide goes in and out
Beneath this surface
I will rise
And be wise
Breezy feeling

It was nice,
but I’m ready to go.
To go grow.
To go learn all I can learn,
and know all I can know.
To hold more hands,
give even biggers hugs.
To share more of my precious love.

I finally get it.  
There's no us.  No chance.  It's over.  

And yet...
this stupid heart, it still refuses to let go.
  It keeps clinging to the hope that maybe,

just maybe, things will change.

It's a pointless wait,
I know, a ridiculous clinging to a dream that's already died.

But it's my dream, and it's hard to let go.
It's not just a dream, it was my dream.
Hot seething anger.
Heat underneath my skin,
ignites flames within.
"Men have opinions too."
No ****, of course they do.—
She murmurs as he rolls his eyes.
Maybe that’s the reason she tries.

"Men have opinions too."
She obviously knows that’s true.
She wouldn’t be the feminist she is,
If it weren’t for words like his.

"Men have opinions too."
If they didn’t you couldn’t say that,
COULD YOU?
So my uncle told me this. It was after his wife said that she kinda wishes she had not changed her last name (to his) and I declared that I am not changing my last name for a man, and if I had kids they’d have the same surname as me (‘cause like I would be the one birthing them). And my uncle no **** says: “MEN HAVE OPINIONS TOO” Like yeah Sherlock of course they do.
I am not scared of death.
In fact, I find her attractive.
I like the thrill of being close to her.

I want her to hold me close.
I want her to be mine.
I want to be hers.

But my family wouldn’t approve of her.
And I love my family more,
Than I could ever love her.

So I keep my distance.
She’ll be mine someday,
She’ll be mine no matter what I say.

You have a right to change your mind about me,
yes, you are free, to think what you like about what you see,
and what you think you see —
don't see —
about what you want me to be.
Because that's more about you than me.
so, go right ahead and think differently —
it is freeing then, immediately.

I've spent the majority
of my life performing to your tune,
the one you fiddled on your flute
rather than changing your own swoon,
it must be pretty difficult
waiting for others to change
all the while stagnating
in your narcissistic slime.

You have a right to change your mind about me,
I'm a maverick, you'll see!
Through trials and forced transmutation;
I am a girl and a woman,
I am a heart and an evolution
of a story still being told —
That's just it, never will my spirit grow old.

It's a wonderful thing to love,
And to be loved,

But how terrible it can be,
To love,
And to be loved.
