take a moment
and clear your mind
carefully carve out the thorns
growing down your spine
gracefully gather the roses
blooming among your ribs
and remember
everything is fine
everything lives
inspiration
.stone.
i could tell that he wanted to mold me
but he didn’t seem to know
that i was less like clay
and more like stone
see it’s not that i am hard
or that i am cold
but i know who i am
i won’t just do as i’m told
.high.
balloons and string
that’s what you brought to me
you set them on the table and you said
where shall we tie all of these
i should have known
you would not wait for a reply
as you tied them to my soul
and to my mind
suddenly
as i looked around
i found that my feet no longer
touched the ground
