Humans are just humans
Friendships are good
And healthy,
And fun,
But none of us is any more than flesh
And
Blood
You don't need to earn anyone
And they don't need to satisfy you

With us
It was always a competition
I needed to win
Well, I got what I wanted
And I'm still unhappy
I win
I've always had this inner feeling that if I'm not the best, then I'm not worth anything. So my entire life is full of a myriad disappointments because no one is the best at everything. I think that has been the issue with me and so many people. I wanted to be the best. And now she's gone, and making kids contrary to our religious beliefs. I guess I won. But this just isn't what I wanted.

I keep wondering
What I would say
To my younger self
I would say
You are beautiful
You are wanted
You are loved
But it doesn't really matter
I wouldn't believe me anyway

I don't like myself when I'm confident
I would rather carry the demons
On my own
Then put them on those around me
I've had a couple people tell me how much my confidence has grown in the last few years, but I'm honestly a **** when I'm confident. 😂😂😂😂

Its been a year
And I finally know
What went wrong
You didn't know how to love
And I didn't realize
So I always felt
That I had to earn you
And I was never good enough
On Easter marked the one year anniversary of a huge turning point in my life. A turning point that was in the making for 20 years. And it's okay to remember that it was hard. I still remember the long nights crying in my room wondering what I would do without you. And I'm not saying that it doesn't make me feel sad when I think about how awful it was, but I think we are both more peaceful when we are apart. I'm sure those of you who follow my poetry are probably sick of seeing my poems about the same instance, but to be honest, as hard as it was, I don't want to forget. And poetry isn't about pleasing the crowd. It's about turning the tune of your soul into written words.

I want to
Hold you softly
Watch sunsets with you
Kiss you deeply
I want to
Go swimming
And hiking
And make memories
I want to
Buy you things
Tell you that you look handsome
Wake up with you
I want to
Learn to slow dance with you
Your hand on my waist
My head on your chest
I want to
Spend the rest of my life
Loving you
Making you dinner
And
Making
The most
Of the time we have left
I want to
Love you
More than I've ever wanted
To love someone
I just don't know you yet
It's the late nights when I can't sleep that I wonder if I'll ever find you.

Brow and nose
Mind and breath
Moon and tide
Life and death
Cause and be
Unity
One with me
My darling
Recently found out that there's a name for that touch of noses and foreheads (which I've always found beautiful and intimate). It's called hongi. It's used between friends, family, lovers. Such a beautiful gesture to signify love and caring.
