It would have been easier,
If I had never met him,
It would have been easier,
If I'd known what he wanted,
It would have been easier,
To turn away before it was too late,
It would have been easier,
If I'd realised sooner,
It would have been easier,
If I'd given up then,
It would have been easier,
If I'd thrown it all away,
It would have been easier,
If I'd hated myself a little more,
It would have been easier,
If my life wasn't worth living,
It would have been easier,
To choose to end it then,
It would have been easier,
To seal my heart away,
It would have been easier,
To hide away my soul,
It would have been easier,
To lose everything,
It would have been easier,
To ignore the voice in my head,
It would have been easier,
To accept that I am who they say I am,
It would have been easier,
To refuse to believe I'm different,
It would have been easier,
But I'm glad I didn't,
I'm glad I kept going,
Because it's been harder,
But it's been worth it,
To know that I am now,
Who I want to be,
And to know now,
That I am loved,
And that I am still able to love now,
Despite it all,
It's been worth it.
I feel trapped
Trapped like a mouse in a box
With no way out
But down

I can't see the sky
The blue sky that is freedom
I can't feel the breeze
The breeze that is love
For I am trapped
In a box
Like a mouse

in this world that keeps spinning
too fast, i keep
on forgetting how to stand on my feet.
the cold concrete always kissing
my bruised knees.

in this world that keeps fading
ever so slightly, i can't
even notice
the bright and brilliant of today
become the black holes of tomorrow.

in this world that keep leaving
things behind: no turning back,
not even a glance.
how do you even
make them stay in place?

in this world that keeps changing

You
remain
constant,
the only One that stays the same.

steady
through whatever
storm or quake.
relentlessly unrelenting.
Master of time:
every era, every age.
forever faithful.

constant.
here to stay.

Your kisses feel
like waves
and I want
to swim on
your tongue*
