With the way I wear my skin
Do you fear the way I stand?
Because I don't let my insecurities win
Can you handle the way I walk
like I've got red carpet beneath every step

My darling, sweet child of mine,
Don’t blame yourself for this act of atrocity.

Someday, I will be a representation of my generation because I will stand up for those within it.
Someday, I will be loving to everyone who feels unloved.
Because I Love You,
Please Eat.

you are so shakey
it's like you could crumble
at any second.

in and out,

Tempest resolve within me,Cursing these waters with intrusive collision.Meeting crest by crest with defiance.Clamor and upheaval, I dwindle away;The saline waters eroding this fleshy vessel.
