Perfect
maple leaves
twisted together
to form
a rose
the whisper of failure hangs in the sky
her frantically beating chest pounds her breast achingly erratic & raw
they urge the *******
but life crashed & crushes as she screams her head barely above water
woman why should you feel this way they ask
this is your dream
a cry echoes through the cold languid air
She got goosebumps all over her skin
But the weather was far too moderate for her body to react in such a way
What an odd day
Maybe it was from the chilling thought
Of being alone
Maybe it was the thought of being with the person from her dreams
Maybe it was from me being visible
Causing everything to heat up
You could tell by the way she was about to pass out
On the sand
At least it wasn't concrete
You cant save my life
I am drawn
drawn in my own pain

You cant make me happy
I am covered
Covered with my own grief

You cant read me
I am written in the paper
damped by my own tears
I can't afford to be mediocre*
*I can only afford to succeed
Slowly,
Take one,
Take another,
Take ten million,
Just breathe.
There's a world of creativity,
Growing within the confines,
Of your critical veins,
And to slice those of which,
House the very essence of yourself,
Is a disservice to your being.
Slowly,
Take one,
Take another,
Take enough,
Just breathe.
You have purpose,
That seeps through the,
Light you bring to the room,
When you laugh.
And to silence that,
Is to **** your soul.
Slowly,
Take one,
Take another,
Take them all,
Just breathe,
Sweetheart, you deserve it.
