Accept that you have time to reflect upon your growth;

And never feel selfish for taking the necessary time for reflection

Let your mind stand still;

So that you can properly move forward
I tear down the walls;
That I have worked so hard to build
Just so you will see;
The part of me no one cares for
When the walls come down;
It seems everyone wishes for me;
To put them back up

Lexie
I cannot ask for love
But the question sits
Like a loaded gun
Behind my teeth
He wanted to tell her
That she looked lovely
Perfect
That her eyes in the evening sun
Looked like a Hazel paradise
That he didn't deserve her
He didn't deserve her
And that last truth
That he longed to whisper
Into her ear
Kept the words back
And his heart locked up
And all he said was
"You look fine"
Someone told me that other people find you 20% more attractive than you find yourself. I don't know if I believe that's true, but I guess I'll still holding onto the hope that someone will look at me and not hold in the words he wants to say out loud.
Delicate
Charming
The trees,
showed you how alluringly,
captivating and enchanting,
it can be
When you let go
and see the leaves fall
Without drought at all

Re words:

rejoint my conscious self,
reiterate, as it is late, I am old,

reread
my prior poems, rewrite them, indeed,
rebuild them, redo them in their entirety,
so you can resell them and be rediscovered!

retake them, rekindle & rearrange in new combinations,
rewarmed, you are re-rewarded in their reassembly,
again reabsorb the moment from wells beneath your skin tissue,
recall the prescient exactitude of what you were then feeling,
readjusted for today’s new filters, recalculate the cost,
replace the cast with renewed images, refreshed faces,
new alpha dogs.

if you can resell them, they will rebuy them, no one the wiser,
thus, regain the old glory, redemption, no need to repent,
just rejoice and sleep another hundred years.
