Wander alone, for once
Wander about,
on this earth
you don't quite understand

Take a nap on the sea,
for once
feel the cold water
being warmed by the sun

Sleep by the banyan tree,
for once
watch as the snake slither
under your feet

By then you'll hear whispers;
someone else inside you
Yourself, but not you,
saying things you dare not speak
Of pronanities, maybe
or of sorrow
your deepest wish, perhaps
of not waking up the next morning

So wander alone, for once
some tears
fall inside

sight unseen

softening
the soul

preparing
us to be

remade
I am a soldier of feather
and a poet of beauty.
Every verse of mine
is a Mecca
for those
worthy of words.

You are tea,
serene in your surroundings.

                                                               ­                                        I am coffee,
                                                                ­           attention always bounding.

Your colour milkish pale,
creamy optimism.

                                                               ­                              I am taken black,
                                                                ­                                bitter cynicism.


Two sugars,
to match your disposition.

                                                               ­                                     None for me,
                                                             ­       I'll maintain my grim affliction.


                                               We differ so much,
                                                     it's obscene.
                                                  
     ­                                              But in the end
                                               we're both caffeine.
Repost of an old one
she looks in the mirror
and loves what she sees

she loves herself.

don't wear that
don't eat that
don't say that

im saying this because
i love you
mommy says

she looks in the mirror
and takes a second glance
convincing herself
she loves what she sees

she thinks she loves herself

you look fat
lose some weight
why can't you just look
like your sister

im saying this
because I love you
mommy says

she looks in the mirror
and stares
hating what she sees

she hates herself
i am she
i sent you a text at 3pm asking how youve been
you read it at 3:39 pm
you replied at 3am saying you were missing me
