Words

Words without meaning, thoughts without words. Why must we fear what cannot be unsaid?

Longing, sweetness, and tiny lust. Not forever. Just now. Is it really so wrong? 

But words can't be spoken, so we may never know if the warmth would be worth the stakes. 

Always, always off limits. Why can't the trip ever be a reasonable destination?

Why the moon and not down the street? And now you've got gibberish. 

Words without meaning. Thoughts without words...

Leave it Behind

Write 'til it hurts
Cry, shake, ache, want be...
Be who you are.
Love yourself through your 
self loathing.
Don't die inside, 
by letting the zombies of the world, eat at your pride.

You are valuable.
No dollar can define you,
no lover can mangle you, 
and the lack of either, 
shall not drown you.

Sleep like a sloth,
think in a mess...

Then

Get up, "head up...get to the other side," (A Friend).

Keep safe,
and leave self hate,
behind!
