I may
be soft
but at least
I’m not
afraid
of my own
skin.
breath was short
looks were long

- but not long enough
opinions
words
stories
thoughts
struggles
truths
affections

none­ of these
can be spoken

keep them buried
beneath this female skin
life will not slow down

unless I make it
don't aim for the stars
not even the moon
forget the galaxies
for
the universe lives inside you
.
.
.
I keep my distance
but you still catch my eye

I am most drawn to people
who make things noisy
.
.
.
I want to feel it
so bad it hurts

but hurting is not
what I need

forcing doesn't help
but I'm bad at waiting
