No, not the least
I will not be cavalier
retreat is not cowardice
I am absolutely clear-

wise Chinese saying I remember:
there's a good lesson in fear
when you know there are tigers
in the forest--why should you go near?

I've captured
my feelings
placed them
in a glass bottle
and thrown them
into the sea

My favorite song
is the one you strum
upon my heartstrings-
the one that puts my
demons to sleep
and my heart
to nirvana.

I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve
But I wrote a story on my wrist
Maybe someday I’ll let you read it
But first, you need to prove to me
You know that’s not my only story

For there are no words
That can describe you

You love so deep
And so pure

You make things so simple
Yet so beautifully complicated

But....

Behind your shine  is a world full of dark

Long nights of you crying
Longing for a purpose

But, even though your broken
and cracked
The light still shines through the pain
From your beautiful soul
Sometimes the happiest and purest people are the most broken
