You think you are intense,
I carry poetry inside of me,
The endless depth of rapture, of feeling, of wonder and despair,
The unseen face before which nothing could stand,
The unseen place where you can lose yourself with nothing to spare,
I show the world the fair side,
Inside me is a storm,
That can burn things, heal things, unleash things that the world has never seen,
I can take you to places you have never been,
I let go of this,
Cause I’d rather be this beautiful mess,
I’d rather be a lone storm,
I’d rather hold on to it than let it go,
Consistency is safety,
Which you cannot give....
I get that....
But it’s amiss....
I’d rather hold forth alone,
That the glimmer of hope,
I’d rather make myself home....
Than depend on you,
But hope....

The distance between what if and even if
I read something profound,
"What if?" is fear,
"Even if.." is faith,
The faith and trust you feel when you have yourself,
The faith built on everything you have built, and your own foundation,
The faith that cannot be shaken and is your center,
Believe in yourself and don’t fear anything at all,
Cause you are enough to change the world,
Leave the fear behind,
Those that cannot come along will fall,
Or not, they will stand tall on what is their will ,
You need to move forward without fear and never still,
Flow like the water, rage like it too,
Use the water to make way for you,
Make yourself the center of your own core,
Cause you are enough to change the world.

The juxtaposition of danger and safety,
The excitement you feel with the haste,
You hold back,
You move forward,
Cause it’s a straight line,
It isn’t gray, although it may seem,
It is black and white,
To fulfil your desires, to bring happiness,
To bring magic, to bring a wholeness to your life,
You want more, you want depth, you need to connect, to get to the bottom of it,
There is plenty to say, plenty to examine,
Plenty in the depths of your soul,
You give in…
You seek the pleasure you cannot ignore…
You disconnect to connect with yourself, cause you always want to be on a path to explore,
You don’t want to be held back, you need to seek and find out what runs deep,
Danger and safety are two sides of a coin and you realise you are water that cannot bind,
You need to flow,
You don’t need the ground below or a ceiling to hold you back,
You were born to be free,
And not live and slip through the cracks
