tuesdays child has far to go.
a child borne
of beauty and grace
so much more
a pretty face
her mind usually still
calm
is wild
racing
she fights
not only to survive
to live
to love
for her right
to be a human

Tuesdays child has a voice
tuesdays child made a choice
to many a persons dismay
Tuesdays child decides
to stay

Tuesdays child
not full of woe
unfortuntely
still far to go

If I'm close,
it's because
I love you
whom I adore.

If You're far away,
it's to make me say
I love you
even more.
The poem explores the duality of proximity and distance in love, portraying them as complementary forces affirming and deepening affection. It suggests that love transcends physical distance, growing stronger through longing and separation.

The tone is tender and heartfelt, conveying intimacy and devotion. The poem’s simple, two-stanza structure mirrors its theme of balance between closeness and distance.

Proximity is associated with the natural expression of love and adoration. Being near the beloved is presented as an instinctive response to love.

Distance is framed as a catalyst for deeper emotions. The longing created by separation heightens the intensity of love, emphasizing that true affection endures and grows stronger even in absence.

The poem suggests that physical distance does not diminish love; instead, it transforms longing into a reaffirmation of affection.

fat,
rolls of fat,
skin,
filled with scars,
heart,
about to explode,
hurt,
i hurt,
everyone around me,
im hurt,
'cause i dont mean to,
yet i still do,
i look in the mirror,
disgust is allll i see,
fat, scars, pain,
a pile of rotted flesh,
trying to do the impossibe,
look and feel better.

I CAN'T SHUT THE WINDOWS OF MY MIND
SO NOW THERE IS NOWHERE I CAN HIDE
FROM YOUR BREEZE THAT IS HALF THE WHOLE WE ARE
NEAR OR FAR

WE BE!

Can any of us hide from how we feel?  What of the notion there is another half of who we BE?  Perhaps it is wishful thinking eh!

When I looked at the night sky, I felt a deep sense of loss.

The stars, were too far away.

I packed jars into the fridge, so that they preserve all I have left when I come back.

It was a plague, a silence, that followed and sputtered life and people were scared.

But I got to see you. Goodbye.

And when I got back, I starved with little I had.

Go away, somewhere deep inside
Far away, like the direction of my eyes
