Sometimes I laugh on my own
Like nothings wrong
But honey i am not strong
I am weak
That's why I always sing this song
Because it's you for whom I long
Without you
And this is true,
I am just a young man, pale and blue

Who rules the world?
Women with broken dreams and broken hearts,
Women with crass mouths and mesmerizing eyes,
Women with red lipstick guzzling down tequila shots,
Women wearing their scars like crowns and smirking,
Women possessing the power to ****** someone miles away,
Women who order their demons to dress up for dinner,
Women who kissed the devil and bathed in his blood,
Women who chose the forbidden and fought with the world for him,
Women who took bad decisions and created history,
Women dressing like ****** in classrooms,
Women who danced at ***** and when the time came kicked someone’s *****,
Women who tattooed ‘Disaster’ on their foreheads,
Women who gave you skin, water, food, and shelter,
Women who brought you into this world, making you obliged to her for life,
Who rules the world?

"So tell me how you're so confident." You say with a glimmer of seduction in your half shut eyes, your head leaned back- I want you. I want to watch you melt in my hands. I'm slipping on snow on the patio but your glance keeps me steady, I want your hands on me already. You're 10 years older but I've caught your eye, I make you want to say "she'll have another" on your dime. We're standing outside, you'll never see me again therefore I'll sink my teeth in. You move a little closer, I'll hate when this is over. I bite your lip- you breathe deeply and put your hand on my hip. I feel the soft ****** of your 5 o'clock shadow, you're hardly callow. I force myself to pull away- this is casual I say- I turn on my toes, my hair sways, and I toss one last hedonistic gaze to the man responsible for my daze.

you are gold.

your light within shines so bright it’s blinding
like the moon in the sky,
you captivate all

a mystery
to be uncovered by yourself
and yourself alone.

you are composed of the stars and the dust and the planets and
the universe

you are everything
you deserve everything

never settle for less than what
makes your universe whole
in the most pure way

be you.
be bold.
