I'm not afraid of flying
I'm just afraid of falling down
But ****, if I knew how
I'd fly out of this town.

I'm not afraid of dying
I'm just afraid of its effects
I'm not afraid of trying
I'm just afraid of what comes next.

Will I succeed or will I fail?
Dive in the air and parasail.
And fly away.
Cameron Godfrey
You see the thing is
words were my thing
since I was a little girl
I loved writing poetry
and stories that might
never come true but
with you I can't say
a single thing without
choking on my own
words while my breath
is taken by the beauty
of your eyes

Read each word
Reach for each word
Let it sit in your mouth
Twirl in with your tongue
Taste it
Savor it
Feel it on your cheek
Then speak
