Every day, she asks me a question...
" Am I good enough? "
Every day I look at her awe.
It feels like the sunflowers are asking,
Whether they make the world bright.
Or
Like the stars are asking,
Whether they make the night hopeful.

Every day, she asks me a question...
" Do I have a quality good enough? "
Every day I look at her with awe.
It feels like the sun is asking
Whether it warms the earth.
Or
Like the moon is asking
Whether it makes every woman feel beautiful.

Every day, she asks me a question...
" Do they like me? "
Every day I look at her with awe.
It feels like the earth is asking
Whether it is loved and accepted.
Or  
The clouds are asking
Whether they make the flowers come alive.
Ask
First, let me ask myself.
What is in you that others don't have?
Honestly, I don't know.
Everytime others borrow something from me,
I have second thoughts.
When it comes to you, I give it immediately.
When someone messages me late at night and I feel sleepy,
I don't mind them.
But when I saw your name popped,
I immediately replied, fighting my heavy eyes.
When someone asks for food,
I'm having second thoughts too,
When it comes to you,
I don't care if there is still something left for me.
I laugh at your jokes even if they aren't funny.
I treat you differently.
Now, let me ask you.
What is in her that I don't have?
My bunny this is for youuuuuu.

Don’t you get it?
Can’t you see?
It all makes so much sense to me.
It makes me frown when I look around,
Sheeple all in lines,
All looking down.
Blindly following the ones walking
In front.
Society executes this daily stunt,
And no one looks up,
No one says no.
And no one changes their minds
About the people that they follow.
And no one seems to notice,
And no one has the time
To realize society wants you
Trapped inside of your own mind.
It's hard for me to ask for advice
Because you don't live in my head
You can only advise from what you hear
To the extent of what I said
So how can I expect an answer
When you don't fully understand
The question that I'm asking you
Is more difficult to comprehend
I don't blame if you don't know
Because you really don't
Though I don't know either
To ask a second time, I won't

why won't you
close your eyes
when you know
you'll get hurt to see?

why do you choose
to return to
where the pain resides?
"Because I fixed my broken self" she replied. "And lost it again"

He sighed. "Aren't you tired?" he asked.

She shrugged, glancing at the night sky. "Maybe. Who knows?"

"Why stay?"

She smiled. "It is in this pain that I found home"
Friendship is a two way street
Where we meet in the middle
If you make me your whole world
We're no longer on the same level
Friendship isn't ownership
Especially when I didn't ask of you
You say you know what's best for me
I know what's best for me too
I asked for a friend not a follower
I am not your god, saint or idol
I asked for a friend not an owner
You are important to me but not my all
Friends forever doesn't mean
We're always together
Best friends doesn't mean
We are at our best
Only when we're together
I asked for equality
Not to be put onto a pedestal
I am not higher or below you
I just want to be your equal

I'm showing him new
ways to *****.
Try to forget the past
lovers, especially the last.
I let him bite and chew
on my recipe for the stew.
Let the precious events glide
while I sat and lied.
But I wouldn't call them
lovers, as they made me numb.
They would sit and stare
with another affair.
They wouldn't want to do
the things he asks me to.

Wisdom is a tree of life.
Grab it with both hands.
Ask God for it every day
Until you understand.
There is always more to see,
And always more to know.
Our joy lies in seeking out
What God has hid to one day show.

I started
giving ink
to my tongue
and for some reason
I developed a sleeve tattoo
that spelled courage
Speaking without borders
speak your heart
