I am afraid to give something my all,
to pour myself empty
to make something full,
only for it to be graded
judged
assessed
as
"Not good enough."

Bold of you
to assume
I have the capacity
to miss
your
hatred.
Serendipity Aug 2019
I want so desperately
for you to be a bad person
because I don't think
I can forgive you.

There is fragility
ready to break
at the edge of the glass
that are her words.

She is shattering beauty,
a weeping angel.

Hearing Holy cries
has shattered me,
and I felt every bit of her pain
with each sob.

Oh my darling,
Your Icarus heart,
has flown too close
to your sunny
optimism.

You have fallen
into your disappointment
once again.

Devils hear your cries
but dare not triumph.

You strike fear
even when
vulnerable.

I know your aesthetic
better than
I know my own
not because
I choose not to know,
but because I'm
too busy
seeing
everything
and thinking of
you.

I feel as though
my lips have touched
Angel feathers.
I have kissed
the holy;
an honor
and a curse.
For no halo's glow
will live up to
her angelic prose
ever
again.

Sometimes
it is hard
to spread your roots
in shaky grounds.

You are not obligated
to stay,
for you still are just a seed,
that the wind
can take
away.
