I think they want to keep it a secret I don’t think they want you to know that the sun rises and sets in your soul you are the light I have always wanted and the warmth from the cold the first time we met you looked at me and I swear I saw the milky way floating on your iris’ and I haven’t stopped loving the sky ever since they don’t want you to know that God hid prophecies in your heart I heard them once when I laid on your chest you make me want to write scripture they never wanted you to know that evil trembles with every step that you take you put one foot in front of the other and it sounds like our ancestors banging drums made out of tree stumps you were never supposed to know that power is in your lips everything you speak is you, are the universe- love can you not see it, when you look in the mirror? I feel my earth shatter when you question yourself because they should have told you that you are everything capable of anything and everything is you
