You deserve so much more than people who smile at your face and talk **** behind your back.
Don't let them tell you who you are and who you are not.
Never settle for ****** people.
Feel tired.
Be angry.
Feel betrayed.
Be frustrated.
But when you're done, smile and remember that you got here without their help.
The only approval you need is yours.
When you realize your worth, come back to me and say,

*"I'm ready to give this a shot,
because I know who I am,
and I'm sure that this is what I want"

I just feel so fluid,
maybe I'm breathing through a dream.
I feel everything but stupid,
can you feel just what I mean.
I am muscle, I am bone.
And I'm standing here alone.
But there's no where I want to go,
this is a feeling I rarely know.
This experience I can't describe.
I am just enjoying being.
I feel no shame to hide,
at least none that I am seeing.
Is this the knowledge of rebirth,
or a break given by the Earth.
I do no hunger, I feel no thirst.
Maybe it's been quenched by my lack of yearn.
My conscience feels so empty,
and yet I'm still satisfied.
And in now I know that you won't forget me,
Just because in now I am alive.

What is in my body that makes me weep?
Despite the happy little moments too little to keep.
Despite the tingly churn in the deep of your core;
The sweet dripples from the tongue of your lover.
The tears you licked from their cheek.

What is in my body that makes me look elsewhere?
Despite the comfort that is always there
Of a mother’s protection or a friend’s soft stare.
When the sun is shining and you’re sitting beside them,
Silence is fluent and words are spared.

What is in my body that the limits my mind?
The child wanting to escape the catacombs built inside.
The herd of horses held back by leashes.
The storm in a jar evaporating as I speak this.
An umbrella in my hands thwarting all sunshine.

Who is in my body when I deny my name?
Despite delicate moments when my crises are tame
And the mirror sheds its simulated black skin;
A screen I painted to cage my reflection in
To keep those sharp teeth from reducing me to shame.
Who is in my body and what is her name?

Standing outside just to breathe fresh air,
maybe I'm pretty dull for enjoying the feeling of standing there.
But there's just so much to take in, so much see,
so much to hear and feel and experience "here to be".
And yet there's something else here,
something I can't comprehend.
It's a comfort that for as long as I can stand here I cannot understand.
But's it's not a feeling of pure madness,
I know that feeling is long gone.
It's a pleasant aroma, a strengthening touch, and a beautiful song.
I don't know if others feel or felt this,
but I surely hope some have.
It's a feeling better than smiling the widest smile,
or the most jolly filled laugh.
Now I know why I live here,
it's this feeling that I must share,
the feeling that can summon so much joy from only standing there

If they ask me to find
a four-leaf clover,
I will proudly smile
and turn to you.
For I am
considered fortunate
when I befriended
a rare miracle,
you.

Not all the times
the universe is unkind
It has been raining
nonstop
and this little house
is warm
enough for the two of us
I woke up to
the feel of your lips
on my shoulder
Angel face, you smell of
toothpaste and
cocoa
(What did I ever do
to be the one
you say I love you to?)
I regret
cursing the stars that
one
drunken
night

treasure
