okay so i'm gonna be honest
i had no clue i would fall for you
but then you gave me that shy adorable smile
and i just fell
and when you look at me
my heart breaks and bends
Let me take a moment.
Hold up ? was that too long ?
Let me try again.
Okay wait, I think I got that wrong.
No, you're tripping, that's entirely way too much thought.
never censor the dirty words.
unleash the violet memories of
your violent childhood:
lilac frocks and pomegranite seeds
and leftover boo-boos
because sometimes
daddy couldn't see you
Hi
I see your confusion and
Your delusions
Your tears, falling, falling
Without reason
I see your smile, overwhelming your face
Don't hide, find me, let's embrace
You write the words
Restless.
Waiting for her prince.
Her purpose.
Adhering to expectations
Carefully crafted by those before her.
Desiring to find her place
Within her tower.
The jewels and gold are worthless
Writing, for me
was always a form of controversy.
I am set to be a doctor,
a researcher,
a doer of good.
But books and language
set me apart.
Gave me wings,
let me escape.
Thoughts in my head
ebb and flow as do currents
Waves upon waves, wash ashore
but my mouth–it rarely opens
This pen and paper
Poetry is a song
A quiet melody in the throng
A low note in the noise that makes us strong.
Poetry is a beat
A steady cadence in the fleet
A common surge in the heart that makes us meet.
