There is art
In your heart
Painting pictures
When I lay
My head down on your chest

There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
When you hover
Pin me down
With your stare

There is a poem
On the tip
Of your tongue
I taste it
When I kiss you

You are tortured
Stereotyped
My jaded lover
I hear it
When you won't talk

We are told to be different.
While we despise different.
This is what I call hypocritical.

Different has big round curves
or slim bone waists.
Different has curly black beautiful hair
or nice strawberry red locks.
Different is expressing everything
or nothing at all.
We don't decide our different
but we can learn to love it.

Alone
Sometimes peaceful
Sometimes loud
Sometimes sad
Sometimes good
Lonely is different
Lonely is bad
And scary
Can’t see, can’t hear, can’t breathe,
Loneliness suffocates

words
They build us up
They break us down
They are everything
They are nothing
They are a splash of paint
They will leave a stain
It can be honey to your ears
Or deafening silence
They make our the worst fears
They are the sound of defiance
They will make you cry
They can give you a reason to sigh
They can soothe the wailing child
Or cause death to come
They can be the reason why he smiled
Or cause agony to some
Words they are everything
They are nothing
