walk with me
i hugged that tree
in the park
it did not feel inviting.
with its rough exterior
taunting me of its age
my soft skin revolted
to prove my healing scars mattered
my sacred breaths that scattered
at the end of the day as i try to fall asleep
i went to lay down on the grass
tried to water it with my tears
it revolted and showed me
those few drops of dew
am i too salty? xD
why wont you accept me
scratch that, go ahead use me.
abuse me, accuse me.
i need to see what i'm worth.
amuse you to bemuse myself.
they smiled
what are you afraid of?
the light that shines within you
the scars that make you hard
the tears that make you shudder
alone is better than aloof.
dont give up on yourself
we will meet at the last dance
until then, strut, run, fall and fumble
for noone else but your sense of wonder.
the crunch craves
my step over the dead
a corpse of an orange
as its juice touched my lips
i began to find my way back
where i came from
and where i might one day go.
