They called her basic As though it was such a a bad thing to be But it was not bad at all. For how could it be bad to like what millions like in turn? To have something in common with those around you? There must be something great about those things for millions to pursue them So to the girl apologizing for her vanilla latte... No, to be basic isn't so bad.

Basic
My friend came by the other day. As a leaf in the wind he has blown From street to street             Town to town. A wanderer he may be but not at heart. He longs to be attached to a tree                              Any tree. In spring and summer the leaves are green                                         And        attached. Summer slowly dries them out as the tree                       Prepares for winter. My friend, the dry brown leaf Blows in his perpetual autumn. We all grow in our own time and season: Winter dormancy          Spring regeneration                    Summer fulfillment                              Fall  preparing for the                                                                Inevitable season of death. These  seasons of the soul Are the very essence of our existence. They teach us                         Temper us                                    Fulfill us. But there are those who do not see The purpose of the seasons. To them winter means only                              Cold                                        Snow                          Desolation.              Spring means only            Rain                     Mud                                Flooding. Summer means                              Beauty to mock                                 The heart in winter. I trust in the wisdom of the seasons. Nature teaches us lessons in her cycles. Let the l                e                    a                  f fall to the ground. Let it rot into cold                                   Stark                     Winter Desolation. Spring will come. Bleak gray will become bright colours                   Of spring. The beauty will fade again but will Reappear in winter's own stark beauty Though it may be cold and gray. Then spring will come.           Spring will come!!!

No, don't look at me Nobody asked for your judging stare Nobody asked for your pity as well Don't say I'll be okay, 'cause I'll never be I am always scarced always scared. They say life is beautiful but whenever people look at me I see hatred, despise, and worse, judgement No, life is not beautiful Let me be Let me be alone I would rather look at myself I would rather love myself alone. don't look at me don't try to be nobody asked you I didn't asked you so don't don't be.

The World
Silky sheets, cool against my bare skin. Moonlight from the window, cascading in. Eyes adjust to the darkness, shadows morph into something more. inhale a sharp breath, as you enter my very core. Your body is sculpted, like your creator knew what he was doing. Perfection. But don't get the wrong impression, this is just another life lesson. Not an obsession. Our bodies are in sync, i've never felt complete. Rush of ecstasy as i curl my feet. My Virginity has been sweet, but those are words i can no longer claim. You took it with every ****** you gave. Caught no feelings, felt no pain. Dropped you as fast as you came.

******
She stands in her garden watching daffodils dance in the breeze Her own hopeful waters sail in a boat where prayers reach her knees Her mind only clear when her garden is near Visions of somewhere, anywhere, but here What’s that river running fast through the veins Where’s that place where the mind can remain free and clear Where the mind can be clear She never threw dirt on his grave, gave him a stone watching green fields His own hopeful open space, freedom to die from a living too real His mind only clear when no one was near Visions of somewhere, anywhere, but here What’s that river running fast through the veins Where’s that place where the mind can remain free and clear Where the mind can be clear Visions of somewhere, anywhere, but here
