I kissed your palms
And offered you all my praise .
You took me in your hands
And molded my heart
You made me into art
You made me feel whole.

You planted yourself inside of me
Your roots dug into my body
You nourished yourself
From my pain.

You used me as a host
For your lonely soul.
You left when You were done feeding.
When I had nothing left to give.

You left me hollow.
The art is gone.
You replanted yourself.
You found a new host.

I'm left as a blank canvas
an unfinished meal
half of a soul
because You couldn't commit.
If you give yourself to me I promise I'll be true to you.

Nothing has changed
Same house, same situation
Same feelings of loneliness

You never cared about how I was doing
Instead, you focused on whether I had a job or not

Christmass has come for me to go home
I thought this time would be different
6 months, no see…
Maybe you wanted to spend time with me

But it’s the same old story
No catching up on the time apart
No loving your daughter for who she is

You want me to get a brighter future
But a brighter future for you or for me?

He's not
kind,
caring,
selfless,
warm.

She's not
talented,
helpful,
transformative,
unique.

They're not
wanted,
needed,
loved,
known.

They're human.
And we're exactly the same.

We look different.
Yet we are the same people.
We each desire to love and be loved.
We each desire to belong and let others know they belong.
We each have gifts, talents, strengths and weaknesses.
We each have something innate within each of us
It supports us, leads us, guides and protects us along the way.
We each desire to know, seek and find peace.
Not only for ourselves do we hope for all of this
This yearning extends to our children, grandchildren
And to all of our generations to come.
In this way, we are the same, all over the world.
May peace and joy be with you and your loved ones
This beautiful holiday season
Heart felt reaching out.

it's all you can do

How well you do it is up to you.
it needs practice
Mito Dec 2019
you left me
so i’ll
leave you
the same way.

different isn’t special.

in fact it’s quite very normal.

ironically it’s the same for everyone.
please get off your high horse if that purple highlight in your hair makes you better than other people.
