My cat is very angry with me. I didn't buy the golden collar, just the silver one. Stupid me. I thought it wouldn't notice. Silly me again. Never get it right with Royalty.

Royal Disapproval
she’s a friend i met her at a coffee shop where i planned to stop and where my heart dropped she’s a friend she has a beautiful smile lovely style and a great mind her cheeks tastes like chamomile she’s truly worthwile she’s a friend we started seeing each other more often with her my aggressive mind softens and my pain are forgotten it always feels like autumn i know i have fallen she’s a friend i can feel her warmth in my clothes the one she wore while i was in control i want to feel her close i want to be wherever she goes she has stolen my soul it’s not something we chose she’s a friend you’ll love her i don’t call her a friend but she must remain one or else you’ll hate her

she's a friend
"I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU." i know she doesn't like me. i see it every time, the way she talks, the way her smile doesn't reach her eyes, the way she avoids me, only me. you've said it already, again and again. "SHE THINKS YOU ARE A TOXIC FRIEND." i tell myself it's not your fault, you still like me, it's just her opinion. but why don't you try defending me, i’ve been with you through thick and thin. how many times do i have to be there for you until you tell her you disagree? "SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU'RE WITH ME” i get it she doesn’t like me, but why do you say that to me, i know all you are trying to be is honest but sometimes it can't hurt to be ignorant of judgement.

please tell me a white lie instead
My grandma has always known That I like girls in a way She knows I have dated girls I remember when I finally came out to her She looked at me disappointed And said " I thought you were just going through a phase... I thought you would just grow out of it..." This broke my heart into a million pieces All I wanted was her approval And all I got was her disapproval To this day my grandma has treated me different I feel like the ugly duckling I feel like the odd one out And to this day she still tries to set me up with guys And to this day it is still breaking my heart She doesn't want me to be gay She doesn't want me to be me

my friends all think that it happened too fast they keep trying to tell me that we'll never last but when I'm with you it just feels right and never has someone made me smile this bright

I like you
Since I was in 7th grade I had a thing for girls That is when I knew.. I was gay Oh it was such a day One day I told my mom But in the end it was like a bomb That just wouldn't go away Then I told my dad He denied it Then he said to me The bible says Adam and Eve Not Adam and Steve -I am proud to be gay/lesbian, because I am me.

Oh how I am gay
Every passing day And night, It becomes harder, To stay away from you. Expectations and religious views weigh us down with their might. They drive us further apart; our hearts blue. Religion and Race Should have no place in life and love. Our hearts bleeding and breaking. Forced apart Out of each other's sight. Begging and pleading, Our hearts aching, Parents, Please take heart Understand our plight.

Miles Apart
Tell me how I only break to be strong and still, how I only take from me to give to others, how I get disapprovals on my own pain, how I wake up as early as 6 am, yet can't get up until the regrets of time gone to waste hit at 2 pm, Tell me how to stop.

Sometimes Darkness whispers to me. It tells me it is a place of comfort, A place of escape. No one can find you here, it insists, You are alone, finally, Just what you wanted, Screamed for, Cried for, Alone, with me, it looks up With a smirk Don’t be scared, I don’t judge, Stay for as long as you wish. When I leave, it whispers to me, Come back, I miss you, Escape the chaos, Be with us... Sometimes Darkness yells at me. It questions who I am, Why I am here, I don’t belong... I’m too intense... I’m not good enough... What I want is impossible... It yells at me, until I yell back. Sometimes Darkness stares at me, When my eyes are shut, I see it’s gaze, It’s lure, It’s disapproval and longing for my return. It stares... and glares... until I open my eyes, And find the light again.

Sometimes Darkness Whispers to Me
to do everything to your liking because the feeling of your disapproval... it shatters me. excelling in every aspect of my life. to be able to get close to you, having to do every one of your desires to belong in your arms. letting everything go to make you proud of me. putting my problems in silence to help your own.

pressured.
Some will call you names Let them call you what they want It doesn’t make them right to shame It doesn’t make them strong to taunt. It just makes them bigger fools, And for that we all grieve. That they don’t play by the rules That they profess to believe Some days bring us rain Other days will brightly shine. Sometimes the cookies burn And others will come out fine. We all know people who cry If other people get more than they Who find fault with almost anything Some other people have to say. It seems to be a lifelong thing Said by overgrown adolescents Crying because someone else got What they wanted as a present, If we never learn to count the ways That we have had good fortune How can anyone ever clearly tell The butterfly from the cocoon? How can we not look at the moon And then enjoy a starry night If we spend our time in tears That somebody else isn’t right? Some days bring us rain Other days will brightly shine. Sometimes the cookies burn And others will come out fine.

THE BUTTERFLY AND THE COCOON
people left me with a need for a new place where touching skin no longer felt like a fear i wanted to stay and get past my broken feelings but there's fear even in happy moments voices of disapproval followed me slowly and quickly day in and day out on land and not even the sea could cast away those demons warmth quickly became a burden my scars i tried to return but faces came forward to form more

"i won't take on more than i can handle" (15w)
The way you can't look at me, 'cos I'm not the little girl I used to be; your tired recollection of each gene in recession; your knife heart, sad heart, raised by a bad heart-- but I decided it’s worth battling your droopy-eyed disapproval; but I want to run into this fog with my arms open wide; but I always thought I’d rather burn in the fire than die in my sleep.

Droopy Eyes
When I think of you it’s cosmos, the worlds in perfect harmony Then I think what’s the point if you don’t think of me? The sun shines through your eyes I swear they’re made of gold Blue stained with crystal, leading to stories of the soul I think of you almost every hour, nothings really changed I get scared sometimes though that we will stay the same The story in the dark, untouched and left untold Letting our feelings drown, frozen and shattered in the cold My father doesn't approve, but it seems he never will If you’re going to run I’ll run as long as we don’t stand still Seems most of this is terrifying, using words in a mine field I seize to understand, what’s the big deal? I’m 17 now, I am not young a naive Some things I speak you must trust but still you don’t believe I prove an I cry, and hopelessly wonder Why am I in a low, with such rain and thunder? He’s the one I want don’t you get it, can’t you see? I’m not such a child, let me be free Seeing you will never change, I’ll wait for him you’ll see And if it’s truly love, what’s meant to be will be

Forbidden
I didn't understand because I thought it didn't apply to me The disapproval that comes subtly but surely from the woman who raised you And in so many ways Because of the person I have grown to be Because I didnt become a replica Because I didnt fall a slave to every silly idea or claim that bled From her fangs. I'm not sorry however for setting my own morals For finding a part of myself That I could not change I am not sorry For growing to be the Hercules to your Hades I am not Sorry For being the one to find and point out the wrong the wrong In ever claim of your "Right"
