all it takes is a match
just your touch,
and i’m up in flames.

all it takes is your smile,
just your laugh,
and the house catches fire.

to distracted by the sound of your voice,
to put out the fire you started in my home.

to in love to see the flames building from your lies,
to leave or to stay,

will the burns be worth it?
in your eyes,
my worth is no more than an animal.
a dead one.
i'm simply here at your disposal,
for your pleasure,
whenever you'd like.

too bad i don't conform
to the norm of my age
clubbing and drinking till i stumble home
you've tried to convince me.
and you'll keep doing so,
until you can have me.
between your bedsheets,
covered in shameful marks,
just so you can boost your ego and compare to your friends.
i will not

"You have never been or ever will be good enough." They said.
But, guess what?
I am as good enough as I decide to be.  
And I decide I am beyond "good enough".
Take it, or leave it.

you were the first one to look at me
as if i really was someone
worth looking at

Ground me to dust,
       But every grain

Will hold more worth



                  Than you..

That which weighs down your soul
set it free
Those who push you away
let them go
When the storm comes and you can't escape
breathe
And when the silences becomes too much
release.

-Esther L. Krenzin-
-Roguesong-
Take care of yourself.
