Fall softly in my sky,
like the sun at dusk.

I’ve always been a loner.
Nonconformist.
Condoner of my own space.
                         ~
Don’t pry my doors and expect my walls not to quiver

Two diamonds watch from diamond tents the diamonds on a diamond fence
sunlight plays some tricks on me when diamonds in your eyes I see.

Jewels,
rubies?, but she's Sapphire blue
pearls?, but she's a diamond too

the music box with ballerina
shakes my world for I have seen her
in my waking dream.

I think the sun has grown jealous
Of my friendship with the moon
I prefer dusk to dawn
And midnight instead of noon

Remembering is a water slide
The highest, the fastest
A strong heart enjoys it
While the weakest fears it

I delight in it
Going from high to low
From low to high

Though you are far away
Here it's summer and I like sliding

I've always liked the moon better than the sun.
I've always painted in black, not in colour.
I've always been a little hidden, never fully exposed.
I've always written, never said.
I've always been afraid of the monster under the bed.

Stop breaking yourself
to fix others.
Surely it would be okay to be a little selfish
and prioritize your own feelings.
