You are made anew
everyday. Something is peeled off
from your skin.Sometimes blood is drawn.

It is very hurtful to
your pride. You cannot walk ****
in your house to invite the god of rains.

The sun burns your
wall of truths. Strange, there was
no one to teach history.

And sometimes I don’t tell anyone my feelings
As there is no language that could describe them.

How does one create so much pressure that doesn’t exist
And still destroy them?

Life itself makes no sense
And yet here we are

Maybe there was never a place in the world
For people like you and me
We just  happen to be here.

You’re slipping away from me. My instinct is to tighten my grip as much as I can. But I forget that love is water. The tighter I grip, the more it slips through my fingers.
I desperately want to be the one to make her happy, but I need to be ready to support her if I’m not that person. That’s what she would do
I,
I am me.

I, I am
a shadow
sitting in the dark
soaking up the light.

I, I am
a hollow full of tears
from past struggles.

I, I am
a scar
painful and lingering
I am irritated at times
but still healing.

I, I am
a broken heart
bruised but not beaten
by my broken love affairs.

I, I am
hollow once in awhile
as depression fells my
emptiness with its blackness.

I, I am
a muscle
I am stronger
than I believe I am,
until I decide to left
my own weight.

I, I am
a dream within a dream
dreaming of being awake.

I, I am
possibilities for I am
capable of change and growth.

I, I am
beyond the static of thought,
I am beyond your
dreams and wishes
for I am a fading star.

I, I am
human,
I am the breath of
creativity and emotions
for I am intelligent.

I, I am
love for I was born
with an infinite
heart space.

I, I am
autism for I was born
uniquely autistically me.

Love shall fill the space inside of the rose,
In tender moments where its beauty glows.
A gentle touch, a whispered word,
In love's sweet embrace, our hearts are stirred.

The rose, a symbol of love's pure grace,
In its petals, a smile on every face.
But it's love that makes the rose complete,
In the space between, our hearts shall meet.

With every bloom, with every sigh,
Love deepens as the days go by.
In the fragrance of the rose, we find,
A love that's endless, intertwined.

Love shall fill the space inside of the rose,
In every season, where its beauty shows.
A timeless bond, forever it grows,
In the heart's garden, love eternally flows.

The ancient eyes of the Ethiopian sky,
Gaze down upon the land, where time drifts by.
In their depths, a history etched in every hue,
Stories of a culture both old and new.

Beneath the celestial canvas, a tapestry unfolds,
With stars like diamonds and stories untold.
The cradle of humanity, where life first began,
In the Ethiopian sky, the Earth's ancient plan.

The constellations dance, a timeless ballet,
As night turns today and darkness gives way.
The moon's gentle glow, the stars up high,
Are the ancient eyes of the Ethiopian sky.

They've witnessed empires rise and fall,
Heard the voices of generations call.
In their watchful gaze, the world they've seen,
From the mountains to the valleys, where nature's queen.

The Ethiopian sky, a treasure trove of lore,
A testament to the past and the stories it bore.
In its ancient eyes, we find our roots,
A connection to history, in its silent pursuits.

So as we look up and ponder the why,
Let's remember the wisdom in the Ethiopian sky.
In its celestial embrace, we're never alone,
For in its ancient eyes, our stories are known.

Our words come crashing towards the floor,
Like shattered glass, they break and pour.
In the silence that follows, we stand so still,
As the echoes of our voices slowly chill.

The weight of our words, like a heavy stone,
In the space between us, they're overthrown.
They fall like tears, unspoken pain,
Leaving in their wake a lingering strain.

But let us gather the fragments, piece by piece,
And with gentle hands, let our conflicts cease.
For in understanding, forgiveness may soar,
And we can lift our words from the floor.

With love as the glue to mend the divide,
Our communication can once again thrive.
Let our words now be bridges, not a wall,
So together we'll rise, and never again fall.
