Here I lay, trapped in dismay, the waters rising, I've lost my way, you've run from me, I knew you'd flee, I wish you'd seen the good in me.

I know I am broken, the cracks I can see, I should've tried harder to be who you need, that person is gone, a life lost at sea, you know who I am now, you know the true me, you must understand that this love cannot be, for i am the demon and the demon is me.

It is her spirit
you fell in love with.

Be careful
not to crush it –
shards
beneath your heel –

shattered glass remains
shattered glass.

I held up the mirror
just to see
if you were as unrecognizable
as me.

I fell in love with myself through you
Thank you for being the mirror I so blindly refused to look in
-s

Not today,
Nor tomorrow,
Even the day after.
I long to know if what I feel
Is real.
To see if I could make it through
A month or two without seeing you.
But it's only been a day
And I'm already in pieces
Just wondering how your day went.

Your hidden treasure when comes in light
A garden of Eden with flowers come in sight
Some of the flowers bloom in day some in night
Whatever crops up becomes source of delight

Let me put my hand on  glowing  warm chest
Please appraise me of your emotions to abreast
Please do not play with me don't take my test
From tip to toe and pore to pore you are best

You are an evergreen flower in garden of beauty
There is no one else who may be more pretty
Do not waste type in pity things feel just more free
I am in you and you are in me let us see let us see

If you stop me unnecessarily then I well resist
So please do not come in my way I do insist
I may be travelling in fog or complete mist
But for whom I have started towards do exist

My heartbeat tells me about his sheer presence
He is who has given me intellect with brilliance
It is he who has given me fortitude and resilience
At times I do laugh on my stupidity, imprudence

He has destined me to capture his beauty thru
My Sweetheart my love I love you ,I love you
Your beauty is dawn my love like drop of dew
You travel with me like with a direction I knew

You are you love you are truth you are beauty
You are sweet you are wonderful you are pretty
In the servitude I find myself more and more free
Please come out from eternal veil and let me see

If losing yourself is like drowning in the deepest sea
Then I'm being drowned by society
Down into isolation and darkness
I realise it's important so hark! This
Person is finding out just who they are
It's taken time and I've travelled far
But I'm sinking and flying at the same time
If you've got a problem you can wait in line
Behind all the bullies and people I've been mean to
I'm starting to get my problems seen to
By doing it myself and carpe firm
I need to be me so they can be them
Heading down I don't know the words
But up in the sky it all seems absurd
It's safer to be a serious straight woman
Than a fun bi genderqueer who can
Do whatever the hell they like
And don't feel scared be "***" or "****"
Being yelled at across the street and whispered on the stair
Because confidence means they just don't care
What people think or how they behave
So standing up for myself isn't brace
It's supporting human rights and I have a right to be
Here on this earth as part of this world
Not in the sea or sky, not boy or girl
