that cat came back again
i had almost forgotten about him
he scratched me up again
but we both know there was never any cat

I struggled
I hurt
I put on a brave face
I pretended
Carried my burdens
Boy were they heavy
I could carry no more
Reset button

I found peace
I find it everyday
Unconditional love
Wrapping it's arms around me
It conquered all
I never fear
Grace is here

So I believe
Eyes on the promise
How ever foggy it may be
To some I seem blind
But the visionless will not see
That HE lives in me

I am every beautiful sunset
I am that awkward first kiss
I am that sweaty handhold in the back of the movie theater
I am that first glance
the one that steals your breath
trapped in time
I am that shy giggle
I am every love story

I am that steamy night
gasping for your breath
screaming more
I am that perfect symphony
every note from your body
a perfect tune
I am that echo
That silence
That beautiful peak
I am that ******

I am the one you never forget
the one you never met
I am the one you believe exists
I am the one that keeps you awake at night
I am the one of your dreams
The one in your dreams
I am the one you wait for

I am the one you look for
In every gaze
In every kiss
In every touch
In every embrace

You haven't met me
Yet
I am the one you long for.
Gasping for air, in this world of despair,

where those who say they’ll help you, just stand back and stare.

They say be “yourself there's nothing better these days”

then you show a bit of color and they say ” oh but darling, your the wrong shade.”

the land of opportunity, is what they proclaim.

Everybody’s welcome, just stay in your own lane.

Don't speak up about injustices,

don't try and fight this game,

those who own this place will make a law to take you away.

They’ll spin some kind of story,

they’ll say your sabotaging this place,

but as soon as they need those votes,

they’ll state they want you to stay.

“We are all one in the same”,

is what they always say,

but then they get that crown,

and there big head gets in the way.

We all need each other to get ahead in this game,

instead of fighting one another,

lets start by being kind and make this world a better place to stay.

I used to believe in her,
Forever
Until life through her tantrums
Left me sore
It couldn’t possibly exist

After all
Who could bear it
Such commitment
With no life boats in sight

Half the planet seemingly oblivious
Unheeding vessels
The other half simply not worthy
Such imperfect vessels
None a vessel to pour myself into,
Forever

But see my eyes couldn’t see
Beneath the charm
Forever sounded so surreal
So calm and collected
So perfect

Until she opened my eyes
The bottomless pit
Forever
Revealing all, but barely enough
The entire time screaming
I am not synonymous with perfect
Perfect is boring

I am painful chaos
Sweet forgiveness
Soft magic
And more
Tag along
We have forever to find out

— The End —
