I loathe to appear boring
but I am.

Mesmerising reflections
Sordid depths pried
for a sliver of truth.
Geometric shells
Fenestrative awakening
enrapt you non-somnambulant.

Suddenly
I find attraction no longer active.
It must be an affirmation
I’m unsure of what
Perhaps never to know.

you want
you want
you want

and when you finally have,

you don't want it anymore.
Dare to dream in a world that is for success to be defined by levels and ranking and age, gender, city limits and unnecessary paperwork.
A Part of me died.
But it woke up another..
That part of me wrote...
Those words will never die...
"She was an
unusual dresser.
Every night,
she wore bruises
on her heart,
love on her lips,
pain in her eyes,
and ink on her fingers.
They called her poetry."
