Unnoticed
The sky dances for us like one not unaccustomed to attention but longing for affirmation

Unacknowledged
The sun hugs us with the warmest embrace,  like we're old friends who have know each other since birth
Seeing us through our awkward phases and past lovers
Listening to us beg it to come out from behind the clouds on our worst days

We don't listen to the stories the creatures of the sky and land regale between breaths of song
We don't value their wisdom anymore
Rare and fleeting if there ever was a time in which we did

We refuse to smell the beautiful commradery of all that happens

Without us

We only taste the defeat of failure or the destruction of our daily encroached reality

We prefer it that way

Beacuse then we can't let the light in,
If there's no light

We see no need for change
Because we see nothing
Our perception is limited and occluded only by ourselves and our willingness to stay in our own darkness

What am I doing?
What's going on right now?

My Emotions: You wouldn't know, you haven't been listening to us or even conscious of the grand scheme

You've been too busy,  
spoke my pain
You've been absent minded,
spoke my soul
You've been detached
spoke my spirit

You've been distant
spoke my heart

Blindsided by the truth I've constinuosly allowed to accumulate, I open up again

To myself

Only she has the tools to fix me
Only she has the capacity to piece me back together and love me deeper than I could fathom

I don't know why we look for that "special someone" to do it for us
You are intrinsically your deepest love. Love  the way you want to be loved.

I love your lips
They're just so kissable

Just kiss me already
I'm still thinking of everything that followed that one kiss

What I would give to dance on your feet one last time
Have you twirl me like the princess I was supposed to be forever

Be protected by you forever
Be guided
Be loved
Be taught
Be surrounded
By you forever

So many "supposed to's"
So many "forevers"

Both unfulfilled

Taken too early, you live on in me
I choose to be your legacy

What am I creating?
What reality am I choosing?

What has been so deeply rooted in me from my childhood foundation that inspire me to pursue ideologies that do not pertain to the deepest bounds of my spirit.

We follow these fantasies
But what reality do we hold onto
The logical fallacies we adopt
We cannot realize that

Fantasies are never really real
They are a fragment of the dream diluted in the lies and commodities of the world

Caught between what I want
  And what I need
    I am in the midst of
      It all
        I can decide
          In this moment
            My future

                                          What will it be?
Falling into desire or out of old habits?Choosing my destiny had never been harder and it will never be easier.

I write from the deepest bounds of my inner turmoil

Pain
Joy
Heartache
Heartbreak
Happiness

The delicate dance  between conscious decisions and situational awareness
Life is a balance

It is often easy to be lead astray by
Words we have too much familiarity with
And actions we submit ourselves to

All because of how they make us feel
