We’re all human,
made from the same.
Too tall, short, fat or thin.
We’re all something.
The label of beauty,
Given out much too rarely,
applies to everyone, everyone.
Your imperfections, perfect.
To me.
Just a reminder that you are all beautiful:)

My heart is full of colour,
Though I’m not allowed to love her.
Concealing my prism of pride,
And covering all my lies.  
Still incapable of loving a man,
Though I try as hard as I can.
The shame of being gay,
Too hard to take.
A short one about the challenge of homophobia and the humiliation that goes along side it.

What would I be,
If you weren’t there to love me
or protect me from the wild,
your reckless child.
Goodnight.
I love you.

My emotions are more alive than usual.
Butterflies in my stomach, anticipating
That feeling I thought I had left behind.
That fluttering is becoming frantic,
Just like our love did.
That fine line between love and hate,
My butterflies fly over, every time.

I was your wildflower,
Your daisy in the dark.
But that’s not what I needed,
At least that’s what I thought
She was your magnificent rose bush
Her petals were pristine.
Perhaps you think she’ll enhance your bouquet,
But her thorns will ***** you one day.

I must want you to be happy.
What would I be if I didn’t?
Maybe it’s because she was the friend who hurt me?
Or is this all your doing?
All I need from you,
Is your permission to grow.
Wildflowers don’t need watering,
Hurry back to your darling rose.

We once grew together,
Our stems intertwined.
But u saw my petals had grown crooked,
So you bloomed in another direction,
That change of interest was apparent,
Even when hidden from the light.
Your onlookers are impressed by roses,
After all, I am just a wildflower ****.
