Like taking a deep breath

Clean cold oxygen
Clear of pollution
Where before you had known only
CO2 and smoke

Like smiling for the first time

Not for any person
Not for friends or family
Not for teachers or mentors
but for yourself

Like opening your eyes

For where before
You had known only darkness
You realize there had
Always been light

Like spreading your arms

Feeling nothing but cool wind
Crisp against tender skin
But rising off the ground
And taking flight

My favorite color
is the space between the stars
But blue has many shades
And so does darkness

My favorite food
tastes of summertime
barbeques and family fun
but iron as well

My favorite song
Reminds me not of love
Not of loss or pain
But of my own power

My favorite story
Is not a love story, in truth
but a tale of strength
Romance as a side story

My favorite person
Is not him, or you
Not mother or father or friend
But myself

I feel like a dog

Beaten for returning
Yelled for running off
Dragged along on a leash
Of promises never made

I feel like a child

Chastised for squealing
Laughter too loud
Running too fast
And not falling down

I feel like a book

Left face down
Pages wrinkled, spine flattening
Half way through what was once
Your favorite story

This is not the end this is not the beginning.
This is the way you left me, I’m not pretending.
Truth be told I never was yours.
This heart ain’t built for two.
My heart is like a stallion
But I may snap as I move close
I tear my heart open
Waiting on a secondhand pick me up
I don’t care what you think as long as it’s about me
You can read all about it
I know what you’re thinking but darling you’re not thinking straight
Mind over matter never worked for my nemesis
Don’t regret me like the tattoos on my skin
This will never end cause I want more
I’m just saying you could do better
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat
Is there any chance you could see me too
Cause I love
Love love love you

At least I think I do

It feels like seeing chocolate cake
And when no one's looking
Swiping a finger across

Like icing in your mouth
And a glance to see if anyone saw
Sugar on your tongue

Like the little smear on your lip
No one wants to comprehend
But everyone sees

Like slowly, carefully
Licking it off your fingers
In full view of the world

Like smiling widely
Knowing no one knows
Your mouth still tasting of it

Like sitting patiently
Hands folded in innocence
Waiting for your own slice of cake

Like getting your piece last
But having it taste of
Going back for seconds

A thousand and one reasons
To take your good old time
To weave barbs into wire
Your heart a "Keep Out" sign

A thousand and one reasons
to think that no one cares
That your opinion is less than nothing
That life just isn't fair

A thousand and one reasons
To wince at your own name
To grit your teeth and narrow eyes
And turn away from pain

A thousand and one reasons
To take a breath of air
To feel the movement in your lungs
And wish it wasn't there

A thousand and one reasons
To look how far you've come
To sigh and sit up straighter
For the battle's almost won

A thousand and one reasons
A thousand, twenty two
A thousand and one reasons
And none of them are you
