Water

nothing would hold
your form for more than
you'd let it.
you chose
who you were held by
no one else.
and for those fleeting moments
where you were tangible;
i thought you were immutable.
but this was untrue.

when I felt myself forgetting you

I always wanted to pretend that nothing changed - that my feelings were steadfast
that who I loved then I would still love now
as if life weren't made up of seasons
I was scared of losing the passion and maybe losing the pain
but aren't we all made to move forward
and if love always stayed we wouldn't cling to it like our last breath
everything is temporary and I haven't decided whether that comforts or terrifies me

I can't change myself for you

I can't be something I'm not
Ive ben morphed by society to what is considered "acceptable" Its suffocating what happened to being original
Different
To stand out in todays society is looked down upon
If everyone is wearing a new type of shoes and your the only one without them you will get judged
What is society's gain these days?
We are jealous and self-confident that we are perfect
But what I love
Is someone who's different
Whos not afraid
To be themselves

Brainstorming and i CAME UP with this

Because

Nomadic traveler
No roots to grip
I won't be here long
because because
That's who I am:
A ship without a port
Dropping an anchor
But for a moment
because because
That's what it does:
Pata de perro
Laps water by tongue
Until the bowl is dry
because because
That's why it walks:
The tide rolls forever
Stretching for moon
Never can reach
because because
That's how I'm cursed.

“Pata de Perro” literally translates to “Dog’s paw”. As Mexican slang it is used to describe some one that is always wandering, nomadic or always busy.

Age Again

I feel too young
To be this old
Yet I'm too old
To feel so young.

Change

To change one thing
We need everyone
Why does it only take one
To change everything?
