Constellations glazed her cheeks
And graced her button nose
Leo and Orion’s Belt
Penned in perfect prose

As if a brave astronomer
Had scooped up all the stars
Collecting bits of diamonds
In his cherished mason jars

He scattered them along the soul
Of the girl he deemed deserving
Poured out his containers on
This coruscating earthling

So that galaxies could dust her skin
And the universe could taste her
An interstellar miracle
Of flawless illuminators

Now we find the Milky Way
Engraved upon her skin
Supernovas radiate
A trail down to her chin

Every verse in twilight
Inscribed on this mere human
Dotted down her arms and back
Celestial contributions

So when she looks up to the heavens
To beaming lights of fascination
There’s never want or lack within her
For she is made of constellations

love is easy to find when you open your heart
expand your mind and listen to the universe,
i hear the angels whispering
but what do they mean?
if i open my heart and allow love in me
how will i know it won’t wither or flee?
i can’t see the future
but i can predict my love’s nature
karma is my best friend
every dilemma endured comes to an end
whether i deserve it or not
love will flourish, not rot
i do not have to be good
but to live righteously, i should
to be kind and in love
is to trust karma and what i am deserving of
i give myself to nature in my most natural form
and the universe will bring back my soul adorned
in the gentle hands of the cherubim
i see my astral form sung through hymns
mantras of profound action in change
i trust my inner wisdom
never fearsome in this eternal blossom
i understand my purpose on earth
there is none but to overcome hurt
if you are courageous, you are alive
to live in love is to survive
to let go of trauma is difficult
but i promise letting go is pinnacle
when your main goal is to attain happiness
doing and feeling without always having to understand
is living without fear of your conscience
and living with trust in God’s plan

don’t be ashamed of who you are
we’ve made it so far
life is always going to be hard
and that’s the best part
the people we grow close with
are all going through a lot of ****
you’re never alone
when you meet people who feel like home
so why be afraid of the bonds we create?
real love lasts and life is fast
tell them you love them
enjoy every moment spent
because you may never see them again.

as i wake,
shame embodies me
my heart is still
my breaths are slow
contemplating what no one knows
should i stay or should i go?
i have caused enough harm
in the pit of my soul
i have nowhere to go
i free my mind,
for change takes time.

I feel it boiling inside
I laugh it off and try to hide
It sturs within my body
The rage of being treated like a nobody

Because I cry
Because I can't lie
Because I love
Because I honor things up above

They think I'm not good enough
To handle things because they're too tough
For someone so fragile and small
Yet from my eyes my emotions help me stand tall

Everyone has these flaws
But they hide them they build walls
I don't hide them I show everyone my all
They look down on me making me feel small

Because I'm emotional
Because I'm scared
Because I'm fragile
Because I'm brave

I know there's nothing wrong with me
No matter who looks down I'll look up and smile widely
Because being this way is never wrong
No being this way is what has made me strong

I died for you once
And I told myself-
I would never again
Make a graveyard out of a garden

- why do I always cut away the flowers to make room for tombstones

I have miles and miles of skin.
Untouched
I have miles and miles of skin.
Begging to be loved,
Some of it
has been marred
With hungry hands and bruising grips.
Some has been stitched together
With a cool demeanour and practised fingers.
Parts bare scars of a desperate girl-
Looking for a way to feel something
All of it is wholly mine

- this body is my home and I have let many people decorate it because I thought they would stay.
