This *****—little—Heart
Is freely mine.
I won it with a Bun—
A Freckled shrine—

But eligibly fair
To him who sees
The Visage of the Soul
And not the knees.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?**

    Fairest of them all you ask? Your question seems unfair.  
    Am I to pick the brilliant mind, or she with pretty hair?
  
    One who stands and fights for all the things she finds unjust?
    Or for the one that gets a second look, the one that all do lust?

    She who amuses you greatly, that girl with the sharpest wit?
    Or the one with the "perfect" body, that a size two would fit?

   She who will stand and take a bullet in her religion's name?
   Or her with no talent, and yet still strives for constant fame?

   Fairest of them all you ask, this is the wrong question indeed!
   You need to look inside yourself to find the answer that you need...

Is it the riddle
Is it the rhyme
Is it the rhythm
As words unwind

Flavor to taste
Rewritten
Erased
Paragraphs
Down
Rabbit hole
Caught
In a chase

The answer
For me
Is this
Emotional
Chemistry
It signals
My heart
To set
My soul
Free...

One fine day
    About midnight
Two dead soldiers
    Got in a fight.
Back to back
    They faced each other.
Drew their swords
    And shot each other.
A deaf policeman
    Heard the noise.
Came out and
    Killed the two dead boys.
If you don't believe
    This lie it's true.
Ask the blindman
    He saw it too.

The free, easy feelings disappear
Replaced by an eager hopeful yearning
Something else is controlling your mind
All feelings start to grow-
If you let them
They’ll take over.
Attach themselves to your thoughts
Always tracing back to
One person and one person only
Overanalyze
Overthink
Confusion
Make it into something
Much more that it is

You can always back away
Before it takes over-
You’re either safe
Or you’re ******.
Once you invite them into your head
You've allowed them to be a guest
When in reality, they never asked
To be put there in the first place
