You make me feel beautiful.
Your eyes smile as I watch them-
they glide up and down my body
I have forgotten my insecurity-
You see past the overgrown hair covering
my underarms and my *****.

You make me feel ****.
Your kisses trail, covering my lips,
my chest, my stomach, my ***
I have forgotten my insecurity-
You see past my blemished skin, my pores,
my pimples, my scars.

You make me feel strong.
Your hand caresses my ***, sliding up the
small of my back, resting on my stomach
I have forgotten my insecurity-
You see past the darkness in my soul-
the pain, the shame, the burden.

With you, I am naked and exposed-
You make me feel beautiful.

Practice, practice, practice,
Write, write, write,
Write until you can no longer hold the pen,
You will find your voice.
Cliche, cliche, cliche.
The monsters come out from behind my eyes,
Fear fear fear,
Don't wake you,
Don't wake you,
Don't wake you.
What the Hell is going on?

Where did you go?
Who am I now?

You are strength,
You are beauty,
You are courage.

I am lost,
I am hurt,
I am no one.

Come find me,
Sally.

Do you ever,
Look at me when I'm not looking?
With longing and love and affection?

Do you ever,
Day dream of holding my hand,
In places we could only dream of?

Do you ever,
Gush to all your friends,
About how deeply in love you are?

Do you ever,
Think perhaps,
I am the luckiest man in the world?

Because,
Do I ever?
Every moment of every day.

Lately, though,
I feel as though you don't.
It hurts.

I hate this,
this,
Everything

My words came out better once,
When I was younger,

My body moved better once,
I am older

How did I fall behind?
The world never became interesting,
In fact,
I lost my intensity as the world grew more lame

My creativity is subsiding,
I barely see potential
And for what?

I lost myself,
Without a gain

I am submerged in mediocrity,
And it's myself

I love him,
I love him
I promised to wait

I love you,
I love you,
He has changed already

I love him,
I love him,
No matter the change

I love you,
I love you,
I would capture the moon for you

I love him,
I love him,
Conversations of marriage

I love you,
I love you,
Give fate a chance

I love him,
I love him,
I am too lucky to stray

I love him,
I love him,
I am not looking

I love you,
I love you,
He doesn't love you

I love him,
I love him,
I promised to wait

How fast can my feet run?

Not on a treadmill,
But across the expanse of the world,
Above the hills and below the valleys,
Into the caves and onto the sandbars?
