sometimes...   you are a noose around my neck    strangling      suffocating        terrifying sometimes...    you are like a single terrifying  entity   an octopus emerging from the deep     seeking me out    tentacles constantly moving testing   embracing stinging   clinging you are beautiful    but so hungry your arms cover me    ******* at my life force d r a i n i n g me. i want to help you but i am so small compared to your greatness ...i am surrounded. sometimes...    individuals separate and between gaping breathes    dangling from the noose or glimpses between    the great mass of tentacles i see one alone   afraid on the edge of the abyss    or a rare bright eyed spirit challenging     brilliant i reach   grasp around the wrists and we hold tight to each other sometimes...    you grow to my height you look into my eyes    and teach me you see my struggles    my fear and you teach and learn as i do    and I revel in you sometimes.... i worry. at your indifference. at your disrespect. at your unwillingness to help. at your lack of empathy. at your unwillingness to learn. sometimes... i see in you    every burst of sunlight     every hope of humanity       every drop of my love always... i see a being of light deserving of respect     of love         of safety and protection            a mind of intelligence               churning with ideas                  bursting with creative energy always... i give you my everything.
