If life with you is a cup of tea,
my love for you is the leaves.
The longer I'm in your life
the stronger my love will be.
I don't need the richness of honey
nor the sweetness of cream.
You are the water that fills my cup,
and your company,
your love,
is all I will ever need.
Life with you
is a delicious cup of tea.

I want new eyes.
Eyes that can see souls
are eyes that could save the world.
I am no ordinary girl,
but whose entire being can be told
when the flesh is a monstrous disguise?
No beauty that is seen
can compare to the unseen,
under the skin.

I am not my keeper,
and neither is the world.
My spirit is a wandering vessel,
a sword with no handle.
I am a wildfire.
A suffering world is my fuse.
I am a lone yellow flower,
mimicking that which helps me grow.
I have never been a calm sea,
for I am a storm where no wind blows.
I am an earthquake
and I shall hold my ground,
and stay grounded in me.
I am fierce.
I am proud.
Call me as you may,
still I have no regrets,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made this way.
