I fixed the words
to lie
I must say I'm okay
so that no one will ask me why.
When he kissed her lips.
He tasted life.
He knew that he wanted her for his wife.
When he touched her.
He felt like he was in heaven.
And that she was the reason for his living.
Take my hand,
Let me take away your pain,
Make it go far away,
And let us jump on a train,

Take us to a different state,
Let’s make a new reality,
That only involves you and me,
No more hurting,
No more pain.

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again
I don't think anyone really understands how tiring it is to "act okay" and "always be strong" when in reality, you're so close to the edge

Him
He skinned me alive,
He used me too.
He trashed me again,
But said “I love you”.
He made me insecure,
But i had a breakthrough.
I’m glad we are done,
It’s not me - it’s you.

I knit those words together
so you can pull them over yourself,
on a cold day
and always remember,
Its me keeping you warm.
