I am a minor miner girl
Living in a go and get 'em world
We come in by the dozens
And I think you all know how this story goes
I try to please everyone around me
Forgetting what's important
And as we all know that isn't the best
I should use my mind more often
To guard my sooty heart
All you other minor miner girls know what I'm saying
But I love and I love and I love
Never stopping to think of the consequences
Sure to follow
I just dive in heart first hoping to not hit the ground
And minor miner girls you know it's true
We try so **** hard
And we always fall
Straight on through to the hellish pain that awaits
I'm sorry if I upset you
My dear fellow minor miner girls
But we need to grow up
And we need to exhibit some sort of conceit
Not to the point of egotism and bigotry
Just to the point of safety
To the point where we aren't always stepped on
And can roll in the Major Miner Girls league
I love you all
Because that's who I am
But as by unspoken and now finally written law
We minor miner girls abide by
I'm still learning to love myself
So minor miner girls
Raise your pickaxes and your shovels
Toss off your hardhats
Because we are about to rumble with
The world outside our mine
We will be
Major Miner Girls

As soon as we met
I finally knew what home
Was meant to feel like
Samm Marie Jul 2016
Day without night
Is as pointless as
Me without you

Such a stereotypical title
But let's roll with it
Like a boat on the waves
Let's look at the horizon
And think about a future of us
It sounds so cliché
But it just sounds right
Like a little slice of heaven
In this earthbound hell
Where you and I
So similar yet different enough
To make life interesting
Where we dwell
Sunny sunny rainclouds
Hover above and below us
Like a roller coaster
But this whole thing between
Me and you
You and I
Let's make it last
Samm Marie Jul 2016
Finally our two souls entwined properly
Right side up and
Inside in for a special
Eternity leading to the stay-up-all-
Nighters and the
Drag each other out of bed the morning to
Sing and **** about without worry but ready without
Hesitation to get serious and discuss
Intriguing and painful topics but always
Prepared to navigate life

— The End —
