Sophia
He's my 3am thought,

tired eyes, blinking lights
cold breeze, dry lips
but it's worth it
if it's him

She's my 3am thought,

firm hands, dark room
heavy sighs, pale skin
but it's worth it
if it's her

They are the sorority and I am their pledge
Trying too hard to be good enough, I’m stuck on the ledge.
Should I run? Jump? Flee? Fold?
Or should I just stay and do what I’m told?

My hair is short
I am simple and traditional
I wear minimal make-up so I can just be me.
Which one am I? Am I the sorority or the pledge?
Neither
I must have jumped off the ledge.

When I'm with you I feel peace.
When I'm with you I remember to be grateful for all that I have, all that I am and all that I will be.
You remind me to let go, surrender and fill my heart with happiness.
When I'm with you I make mistakes but it's okay because I learn from them and you know they will only make me stronger.

When you're with me you feel bliss.
When you're with me you remember that you can be childish, silly and even a little out of control.
I remind you to feel excitement, passion and to fill your heart with love.
When you're with me you too can make mistakes but you find humour in the way our love continues to grow through perseverance.

Let go of your regrets
Surrender yourself to yourself
Let your mind be silent and your soul be humble
Disintegrate your inner walls to let your true self shine through so you can finally be free

The grass is green
The air is fresh
The trees are dancing with the wind
It feels like peace
It feels like a dream
I could sit here forever with my thoughts and ponder every aspect about life
I could sit here and change my perspectives on life since life is surrounding me and each is different
The plant life is stable, growing forever in one spot, communicating in ways we will never understand
The animal life is always finding a way to continue to survive
Water provides life to all and we as humans take it all for granted...
Shouldn't life be enough?

Who are we to say
that a love is not to be?
That a love does not belong
and can never be set free?

Who are we to think
that a kind is not our people?
That a kind is far beneath us
and will never be as equal?

Who are we to feel
that a face can look unusual?
That a face must be a canvas
and be painted to be beautiful?

Who are we to judge?
To say love is prohibited?
To think below of others?  
To feel minds can be limited?
