Mar 2015
Sign off, water spilling from the faucet
I imagine white and black paint
Wings to whisk me away
You will wish you hadn't missed out.

I recorded myself late into the night,
Lets create that reminder
My hair grows longer everyday,
I throw myself into the world
Because no one will for me.

Don't do what he did, don't talk like he did
Don't be silent like he did
But like I said
White and black paint cascade all around me
My wings, flying and flapping
So high.

A sunset, throwing things out of the window
Or miles and miles of snow
Answers wait to whisper my name
I hate technology, but I have to use it
To get by,
But I sign off because I refuse to wait.

A cocktail here, a cocktail there
Never enough time.
I have about 12 errands to run
And you don't seem to be one of them.

But thank you for the art,
Every single one of you
As my mother wishes a wedding veil were on my head
I leap in the air knowing,
In time.

But I won't fight, I won't force
And I sure as **** won't chase
Because girls like me,
We get chased.

Embryonic and chaotic
Catalytic is what everyone says as they pivot
Toward me
There is no man who could control my fate
So I let go of what was
What could be
What I want us to be.

Because I am a palette of colors and gems.
