And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud

All your life you were a diamond
Treasured
Loved
Protected

You were the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stared

You gleamed from the inside
Your glow engulfed you

And today You say you're Broken
A light the night devoured

Shattered by torment
No longer a diamond
Just shards
Broken glass

                             If stride is broken
       are you not at your own pace
                        If a mold is broken
       are you not your own form
                      If a rule is broken
are you not your own master

Your gleam has left your center
Your glow is beyond your surface

And today I say you're Beauty
A light no night could cloud

If you break, break free
Don't be the focal point
The mystery
The reason the Broken stare

Guide the Broken to your shambled soul
Let your pieces form an essence
Let your light form a beacon

No longer light encased by a diamond
You are light, aggrandized by shards

And today I say you're Beauty.
A light no night can could cloud

Beware:
I am the calm.

I will show you the sunrise,
sing you serenades.

I will shoulder your crying,
carry your weight.

I will share my secrets,
tell you my truths.

I will win you with wordplay,
whisper you weak.

I will be the one you collapse into,
in terror and in joy.

And when I destroy you
as you look up to me,
smiling,
you will understand
why people
and storms
share names.

If you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
It's starting to take its toll

I've walked this earth from edge to edge
It lied in such a drought
Seeing all I didn't see
I see why some opt-out

The world's been rather cruel to me
I came in bare and stranded
If I get back what I put in
I'll be leaving empty handed

The good've gone bad
The sane've gone mad
Yet they all fight to survive

The worthwhile wasn't
The feel-good doesn't
And there's no getting out alive

So if you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
I've lost my self-control

When next you see me travel
Do not ask if I will stay

I've not the time for talking
You'll not get the time of day

My time, my dear, is money
With such worth, I'd nary trust her

My words, you'll heed, are golden
Your two cents, mere bronze, lack luster

Fit the bill, you do not
Of cases I will juggle

A blind man could see with either eye
Pettiness is your struggle

Complaints of yours, I'll not hear one
For requests, I lack forbearance

Ask a favor, don't you try
Charity's beyond my inherence

Those paws you clinch, you'll also wash
Dare you raise a fist to me

Your filth exudes; nay, it disgusts
Mealworms out-shine thee

So step off, peasant, you've done enough
Of this wasting of my breath

Be gone now,  & clear of sight
Lest thou wish for their own death

"Your majesty" I shall be addressed
No more else should such **** say

And when next you see me travel
Do not ask if I will stay
