Give yourself some timeIt's ok to give yourself some time
Would you like to hear me rhyme
Hating yourself doesn't cost a dime
But it should pretty much be a crime.
It's ok to give yourself some time
Are you afraid...

I’m different now, though not without flaws
Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on
God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn”

In Shadows of DawnMy greatest fear is not the fall,
But failing myself, the deepest dread.
A Queen I sought through toil and call,
Now stands before me, love’s thread.
She rekindles spring's warm embrace,
Her beauty in each quiet glance,

Sanity fairOh
That's strange
Shh quiet
Internal system
Do you all hear that
Does it sound or seem like she
Is at peace today
Quick
Someone do something
Make her think
Of anything
To disturb and irritate

My Future Self
The spent sun sank on the transit,
took away the colors of the chameleon sky.
The masked face of clever craft on display
enticed me to walk entranced
on the dark garden pathway.
The creepy night sipped the fluid...

to love yourself is to lose yourselfloving yourself is not easy
you have to lose yourself first
in something you adore
a hobby that you can do by yourself
something that engrosses you
that you can do for eight hours

The ScreamOverwhelming yet desired,
Intense feelings merge with emptiness.
A face smeared with an obligatory smile
conceals an ear-shattering internal scream.

My Future SelfReflecting on the miles, I've traveled so far
I've walked through shadows, and wiped away scars
I'm not the same soul, I used to be

Make Up

Nor on my skin,
Cheeks, nose, or chin,
But on my lips.
No, I do not use make up.
