I don't want
A knight in shining armor
I don't need to be saved

I just want
Someone to talk to,
So I won't be so lonely

I just want
Someone to like me,
For me

I just want
Someone who is kind,
And will not hurt me

I just want
Someone who is funny
And makes me laugh

I just want
Someone who makes me happy
For a change

So maybe I do want to be saved,
Maybe I need a knight in shining armor

It was a pinch of*  Insanity
*That saved the world.

I am a Child
Of
GOD
An emptiness has been filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit and i'm amazed
To die,
To fall,
To lose,
In an act of,
Life-giving,
Spirit lifting,
Victory,
Is simply,
Nonsensical,
And yet,
Perfect,
Completely,
Irrational,
And yet,
Thought out,
And so,
Incomprehensible,
With human mind,
But absolutely,
And definitely,
The right thing to do,
Because God loved the world so much,
He would let his own creation,
Take his only son from him,
To save his creation,
From the hands of evil.

And the best thing?
The most amazing and inconceivable thing of all,
Is that he did it for all mankind.

SAVED

Every single human being ever born is saved.
There's a hole.
What seems like a minuscule hole in my suit jacket.
Right at the seam, where it overlaps with my jeans.
It's there because of the idiocy,
the complacancy,
the moronicy,
of a girl I used to be.
The girl everyone wanted me to be.
As she ran away from life,
because the man I was meant to be told her she was a freak.
Now when it first appeared, I thought it was a gaping chasm.
One that could never be filled.
But I fixed it, as I came to terms with being her, and he.

There's a hole.
What seemed like a minuscule hole in my heart.
Right in the center, where it puts love into the rest of me.
It's there because of the carelessness,
the idle hands,
the love struck glances,
of the girl I thought she would be to me.
As she played with my heart because I was too weak to see otherwise.
Now, when it first appeared, I thought it to be a gaping chasm.
One that could never be filled.
But I fixed it, as I came to terms with her being her and me being me.

There was a hole.
What seemed like a minuscule hole in my life.
Taking over my world, absorbing all light making me terribly unhappy.
It was there because depression was a beast,
a monster, a thief.
Stealing every bit of smile I had left in me.
But only because I didn't know I had another option.
Now, when it first appeared, I thought it to be a gaping chasm.
One that could never be filled.
But I fixed it, as You walked through the door and into my arms.
First of all, yes I suppose this is a bit of a "coming out" poem. I'm gender fluid, so that's the first stanza.
The second is about a girl I spent too long pining after, and the third is about the girl who showed me I didn't need her.

Take me,
out of the world,
sit me right next to an angel,
not your average little girl,
begging that feelings untangle,
then you give keywords,
To what your past life was like,
it was limbo,
it was lust,
it was even suicide,
i don't know how to begin,
Letting my mind recycle,
forgave all the enemies,
And even read the bible,
Remember Every Single picture,
That i ever really took,
i just hope you know the language,
so we don't have to overlook.

(You Saved My Life)

My favorite Planet was mars,
didn't even have to say it,
already knew the guilty pleasures,
Even-though i kinda faked it,
knew from when i was a child,
knew from when i first spoke,
knew from every piece of food i ate,
even stuck in my mouth and choked,
i was always this creative,
even back when i did a lot of art,
Effortless Designs,
But I forgot When I had My start,
you may have been there a lot more than dad has,
but when i came up,
can't believe i didn't think i would be showing more love than i had,

but you saved my life.

sunlight's first ray turns gold
every leaf and rock it touches
transforms my imagination
from stone to a raging ocean

i feel the earth beneath me
its heart pulsing with life
and know that with the sun and stars
i might be saved tonight

you saved me from...
myself
countless scars upon my arm
the faceless opponent in my head
breaking point
You kept me from giving up.
i cant help but love you.

Her voice is soft: "Sweetheart, come.
You look like you're in need of some company."
She takes my hand, stroking it gently with her thumb.

Slow steps, I walk in a disjointed pattern. Two, two, one, three.
She does not hurry me.
Around my waist snakes an arm.
With my sharp intake of breath, a note of alarm.
"Aww petal, it's okay. I mean you no harm."

"You're alright now, your fight is over."
She says taking my bloodied revolver.
Exchanging it for a torn and red stained four leaf clover.
