If all men want
is an ******,
they'd stay home.
DIY

*** isn't one-dimensional
neither are we.
The goal is
reassurance,

Reassurance we
aren't monsters
That we're interesting
and attractive

That rejection is only
happenstance
and that someone is
willing to be vulnerable

if only for the night
with us.
Someone only
needs us

and we need them.
Possessive and jealous?
To keep what is ours,
our purpose.

Our purpose is
simple.
To be wanted,
to be accepted.
Spoken word

Time is meaningless
Forgive my absence
I was trying to come up with the right words
To please you

Don’t fret
For I am still insane
Still unpredictable
Still the same

I’m back to contribute
To that pretty little smile
To the fight the good fight
Against fear and salty tears

I look different
I sound different
I’ve been new places
Seen new faces

But I’m still here for same reason as before
idk Dec 2013
and maybe ill go back and rethink every heart wrenching decision that ever came across my mind
anything that ever affected me in any way that made me change my thinking
when im wrong and i cant handle it
when i sit in complete darkness and thing about you
but i think about the comfort that im  not feeling with you here
im thinking about if you were to be here and them comfort i still wouldn't feel and how that would make me cringe and cry and never want you and make me need you and realize that the things that i want aren't the things  i need
its a change in the security of the things of need
a thing in the displacement of the things i need to feel that void in my heart
its like waking up and needing you by my side but when i see you there i realize that i just wanted that physical aspect of seeing your face to fill the void of everything i couldn't handle
not the meaning inside of myself not knowing what i want right when i want it
its the simple thing as if not having you there is enough
its the self reliance i need to feel to make sure that me, myself is good enough with having enough comfort in myself to know how to handle situations alone
being alone and knowing how to handle things alone without needing you by my side
mentally, and emotionally
and ill look you in the eyes
and tell you that i need you
and look in the mirror
and stare at my reflection
in realization that i've needed myself a lot more all along
and you can ask how im going to be without you
and i have a good sense that ill be fine
until you find someone else to write about and call mine
this was a spill sort of ramble so tell me your thoughts idk

SLAP ME WITH YOUR WORD OF VALIDATION AND COMMITMENT
BECAUSE SURELY YOUR HARSH WORDS OF REASSURANCE
WILL BE BETTER
THAN THE LONELINESS
I CAUSE MYSELF
In an endless corridor of mirrors as clean as snow,
Me and my friends grasp each other with loose open arms and smile
As we dive into the mist of recognition and truce.
My debut Sijo heavy influenced by Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

You always know what to say,
even after you've said every wrong thing fathomable

*"You're worth it. You're worth everything I do for you."
I dont know what Id do without everything he does for me. I harbor alot of guilt over it, but he told me I'm worth it.
I've never felt worth anything
until now really.
