You tell me to be thin
You tell me to like a masculine boy that's strong and ****
You tell me to need to him
You tell me to cook and clean for him
You tell me to beseech him
You tell me to work out yet not to much
You tell me to be what he wants
The media, created by no one else but us,
Is you telling yourself to slowly **** yourself
Would you tell your little girl she isn't skinny enough? Would you tell 8 year old you that she's not smart or beautiful?
We sit and whine about needing to appease men, being unequal, not "pretty" enough or "skinny" enough
Yet we keep buying the magazines, watching the tv, feeding into the
Parasite known as the MEDIA
in order to change we must change our culture and our values
We must respect
Not only others but ourselves
Escape the hands reaching out to strangle you
Don't allow yourself to tie the noose around your neck
Defy the media
Define you

King and Queen          of what do you think?

Power, riches           and bottomless chalices

of wine                                                 to drink?

Perhaps                                         all the above

but see                                                              ­      
   I think of love

I think of                                            a princess

cursed by                                                a witch

I think of                            the poisoned apple

snow white                                             had bit

I think of                                             the witch

with a hole                                        for a chest

*her hearts gone amiss

See for her this curse is a test,

True love just doesn't exist

So all it takes is a kiss

If it to be true love then the curse shall remiss.

True love shall heal all no matter how sick

most see the hand of a princess

but to reach for is taking quite a big risk

True love sees those lips and dives head first so hers can meet his

You see with true love there's no possible way to resist

No matter how deep the pit, or dark the abyss

All is worth it, he found Bliss in her lips

A king and a Queen,

Their story of true loves first kiss

When we were young,
Boys and girls don't always play.
Until we're a little older,
It's a game of love's chase.

Typical of dawn and dusk,
They never happen at the same interval.
Unless you look at it from God's perspective,
Where the time is only one in peripheral.

Even if we rarely see each other,
Like the sun and moon,
After a thousand of falling stars,
We'll cross paths soon.
-----
From children to adults,
From morning to night.
I'll be your lunar love,
And you'll be my moonlight.
If I'd send a rocket to the moon, it will be in the form of a letter.
Maybe we've yet to grow older
and play the game of love's chase.
We've yet to be in the same timezone.
We've yet to cross paths.
Not now, not soon,
But we will, wjh.

Wildfire, camouflaged
In a shell of normalcy,
She will consume you

Life is but a game of
****
marry
****

I chose to **** the world
for how
the worlds
made me feel

All that proceeds to hold me back
from being one who
succeed's
what I'll ****

A smile cracks
as it trots
by in
a hearse

As I stand at the alter
to marry the stars
which helped me
through my worst

Each galaxy I've seen
in loves eyes
embedded
throughout the universe

In the realm of rumour
wise men suggest
when it is dark enough
you will see the stars

In the fury and the mire of human veins
fragments of dreams and memories
used to spring loose

from my crowded mind
unsettled, darting dreams
shouting slogans in the noisy air.

In the kingdom
of saliva and dust
I have ceased to dream

And soon
I will soon cease
to exist.

"that was one hell of a"-
                                                        "Night?"

"I mean you do got yourself one hell of a vibe"

When I'm with you
Under the moon
I can see so true.

And "Truthfully that's one hell of a mind."

You say I'm *"one hell of a anti"
-
                                        "social at times?"

"Truthfully I'm social just a little too"-
                                           "Soulful at times."

But "You like to show your soul too! And to me that's so cool!"

"How we can feed off each others energy."

"I guess that's what they're calling soul food."

"There's demons all in my head,
eating my feelings for food,
crawling in my soul for a bed,"


She goes "But all those demons aren't you! They're in for quite a surprise.
There's no space for my love.
Allow me to make room."


For sheltered demons whom we despise
"That was one hell of a hiest."

Stole these demons with the bright words she spewed.

Gave them no where to hide.

Brought them to light,

we watched them burn
as we watched the sunrise.

"That was one hell of a night."

Now my hearts **"one hell of a paradise."
Bolded is me speaking and itallic is the women.

Hidden in the shadows
In the light of the moon
Is a secret born in the inception time
The whisper of legends
The Truth in the tale
Alive within dreams
A reflection of souls dancing
Diaphanous in the rays of the sun
Like lingering cold
As mist succumbs to the warmth of morning
Never to be found when looking
Unseen in plain sight
Wrapping its equal
In a swaddling of peace
Only to be known as two become one
A whole felt before
Only in the shadows of dreams
Eternal by design
Known in this realm
As a myth, as magic
But this is the only truth
Created as one soul
We are all that there is
22216
To Him
Forever and Always

The positivity of the sun is questionable
It shines brighter than a child's smile
when everyone else is depressed.
~
It's rays reach even the worst of us
But in it's happiness, can we truly trust?

Midday passes, noon is lost
The sun loses hope, it's almost forgot
The whole world expects it to stay
high up there
But it loses it's confidence, staggering down in despair
It's true colours begin to form
Orange, blood red, and a pale saffron
We admire it's beauty when it's all the more exposed
I suppose what's inside is what matters the most-
Wait, hold on- I must've zoned out
For the moonlight shines bright as it's hours past sundown
The moonlight isn't true-
It's a trick of the eye
For the only thing I know to shine as bright
Is the sun- sunlight-
but wearing a disguise?

The point of this tale is for us to remember
That indeed, we can only trust in the sun's embers.
We love the moon so, but the sun provides it's light; you really should know.

The mind’s a garden
my goal with art
to water the seeds
of understanding
and watch them grow

because to
understand
someone is
to be their hero

You’re saving them
from
crippled nights

You’re saving yourself
from judgment
for judgment’s evil
but it’s no
kryptonite
Art is the most powerful entity on earth.

Vastly greater than media. For art only creates understanding and strays away from the evil of judgment enduced by the media.

Judgment is evil that much is true. But for an artistic hero, kryptonite doesn't exist.

It's dark out, A cold winter night.

Awfully lonely even for me.

A howl echoes throughout the silence, my heart drops.

A howl that entered through one ear and echoed loud for my soul to hear.

Would it be sinister to say I smiled knowing I wasn't the only one here?

A smile becomes a sarcastic laugh of desperation, being ironic I joined with crying howls to the moon.

Before I could finish the wolf howls again.

I learned something that night, I solved the answer to love.

Find your moon, find someone who brings light to your darkness.

Find someone who, when you feel like a lone wolf with a numb soul; Will be your moon to howl to.

We'd be a beautiful love song.

I learned hope is when a lone wolf sings to a moon, as if it'd reach.

A Favorite melody howled the lone wolf so heavenly.

A rhythme being merely, an echo of his heartbeat.

Love is feeling that heartbeat and hearing a melody.

Then singing all the words otherwise too scared to speak.
