Sometimes Nothing

Sometimes I want to stand up and scream and fight for what my soul KNOWS is right.

Sometimes I want to hide and only converse with my lemon tree.

Sometimes I want to take on everyone's pain. All my LGBTQsto brothers and sisters who always have to live in fear. All my dark skinned brothers and sisters who face ridicule for simply existing.

Sometimes I want to run into the mountains and never look back -- let the world burn in the fire it's stoked in hatred and blood.

Sometimes I want to blow the fire out and drown it in my tears, sometimes I want to spit into the wind and rage against the machines.

Sometimes I think being good is enough.

Sometimes I realize it isn't.

Sometimes, I get tired.

This is what books are for.

silly boys

Silly Boys always trying to kiss me.

We have never left the playground.

“You’re smart. wanna make out?

Let me tell you all my secrets.”

They want to write diary entries on me with their tongue when they’re

drunk

and in love

with my brain.

Silly Boys always trying to kiss me.

Who would have thought it was the men who needed the most complements.

Who would have thought it was the men who needed to be held.

And who would have thought that it would take a Duchess of Debauchery to be the siren to sing them to sleep.

The Shadow's Daughter always leaves though, in a cab by three with a cigarette and the last drops of your secrets.
