Literature Text
in fifty years, when the corners of your eyes
have curled under the weight of your smiles,
i will close mine, and rest assured- i will
remember the unwrinkled blue that once
shook up my lungs and left me breathless-
i will remember the unlined hands that roved
over countless landscapes, conquering-
i will remember the shock of gold that crowned
you as the laughter rolled out from your lips-
how could the world turn on without you?
as long as i have mind to bend to memories,
as long as i have mind to bend to memories,
you will burn on, brand-like, young as dawn,
no matter how your flame has faded since;
i will press you between pages
as you pressed yourself to me,
until time rubs out the words
and all who'd care to read them.

36 - enough excuses
Insecurities
Attempt to keep me from being
My best version of myself
Can't, won't, will try but most likely fail - is the discourse I had
And you reinforced to keep me from sur-
Passing you in anything at all, belittling
Any of my few achievements
Blaming me for your own short-comings
Leading me to think I could not
Exist without you
Yet
I
am
capable
of more than you ever allowed me to believe
'Cause without you I can actually breathe

Please Say I Am
Please Say I Am
Sheltered.
Nurtured.
Curious and young.
Following, perhaps even stalking.
Stumbling with thoughts that won’t leave my lips.
My eyes see.
Your eyes can’t or won’t.
I don’t know.
When I spy on you,
My heart feels something.
It feels like hot sunshine
Burning yellow bubbles that burst and burn.
That is good, right?
Then sitting in my darkness,
I whisper your name.
I hope you hear me.
When will you escape your madness?
Will you ever know?
Am I meant to be your girl?
Please say I am…
Please.
Literature
Hey Stranger
Hey stranger
Will you be my friend?
Not to keep me from falling
But to pick me up whenever I do
Will you be there
Not to guide me when I stray
But watch my back and pray
Will you be there
Not to fight my battles
But to warn me of the consequences
Will you be there
To celebrate my successes
And comfort me in my failures
Will you be there
At the end when I breathe my last
And remember me as I once was
