"Where does it hurt?"
Everywhere
"Specifically?"
I guess right here
"Your heart?"
Yeah
"That's not a good sign"
"How long has it hurt"
A while I guess
"When is it worse?"
At night and sometimes day
"This could be serious"
"We will take you up for a scan"
Doctor?
"Yes?"
*Please make it go away
When a woman says she doesn’t deserve to be with her man
He’s got to make her understand
That she is worth more than the world thinks
Men try to keep women down in the so called Man’s World
But a Man has to be the one who does the right thing
Even when it seems like treason
Who will stand up?
He assures his girl that he is just a simple man
And she can do exactly the same, even better
His heart reaches out to her, trying to contain a growing temper with the world creating such a mind set
He knows that he has to hold her hand and fight with her together.
Man's world my ***, Women are just as capable and equal as a man is.

don't feel bad.  
you're not the
only one i have
pushed away.

you're one of
the billions of
people that i
have pushed
away.

i don't want
someone to
stay and find
out that they
don't like me
at the end of
the day.

so don't feel
bad.

i don't let
anyone in
after what
happened
after i had
trusted
somebody
with my
heart.

i lost it.  

and him.

She was like a candle.
His touch set her ablaze.
Illuminating her present by incineration of her past.
She burnt and burnt till there were ashes at vast.
He tried to hold her,  but through his fingers, the ashes slipped.
She was finally free,  free from confinements of her sins.
His fire made her pure.
Released her soul from the impure.
The fire was the end of her,  and she swallowed it right the abyss of her soul.
The fire was her redemption, which made her whole*.
This is my body
This is my home
I will become the sun
at the centre of my own universe
But I will not allow
the timber walls of this heart
to burn away in cinders and ash
I will become stars and align myself
With the harmony of the Earth
Planting my roots in rich soil
And grow, until I am a mountain
Of living, thriving, beautiful, Oak
I will be the sun and the earth and the stars
and the dark night shall call me daughter
When I howl to the waxing moon
*You have embers inside you
Let your wildfire burn

Let us pretend that we'll make it out alive,
Stuck in the middle, show some decency or pride
but not both
Your reputation is at stake.

Head is pounding, sound is ringing in your ear.
Deaf to the music, but the dissonance is so clear.
How do you plea?

Wanderer
In half a second
a silent conversation
passed between us

Your eyes
dull and downcast
with dark bags
and droopy eyelids

Your mouth
the corners turned down
ever so slightly
with your jaw clenched

You were upset
and just a little mad
but not with me
at yourself

You always blamed yourself
even when others
were hurting you
Please don't blame yourself for what happened
