and all the democrats cheered,
happy blue year

be weary pretty girls
when boys start to stare
some dream of stealing
the flower from your hair

Like of jolt of excitement
Fierce, yet fleeting
Evolved into reassured
Never-ending warmth
Subtle, yet constant
Found deep in my chest

we spend so much time
telling ourselves to be better
that we start to believe
we’re less than standard.
sub par.
perhaps our greatest achievement
should be recognizing ourselves
as good enough.
and whatever goals achieved thereafter
are personal victories,
not society’s expectations fulfilled.

i am a simple gal
fascinated by nature’s ‘mundane’
toss me in a patch of green
nothing but a mile of trees
and ill spend hours lost
staring at the bark

i want to invent a thought
thats totally brand new
something very meaningful
a gift from me to you
but alas, i cannot conjure
what wasn’t already known
so i steal a thought from someone else
and top it off with a bow

i thought infinity was impossible
but now i can't be sure
cause every day that passes by
i seem to love you even more
