A House of My Own

 

                                  



Not a flat. Not an apartment in back. Not a man's house. Not a daddy's . A house all my own. With my porch and my 

pillow, my pretty purple petunias. My books and my stories. My two shoes waiting beside the bed. Nobody to shake

a stick at. Nobody's garbage to pick up after.

  Only a house quiet as snow, a space for myself to go, clean as paper before the poem.

She's pretty amazing at loving

Image
                                     She isn't the easiest girl to love. she has this bad habit of overthinking. She tends to  overreact and she gets a little insecure every once in a while. She'll be needy for your attention. She wants to literally take up all of your time and she'll require a lot of reassurance. She isn't capable of fully trusting you. She doesn't know when to stop fighting with you even if she's wrong. She has no problem pushing you away if she feels like you're close to hurting her. Loving her will stress you out, loving her will make you angry, loving her will break  your heart at times, loving her will test you, loving her will challenge you, and loving her will change you. It may get so demanding that you'll be tempted to walk away, it may get so hard that you'll think about giving up, and it may get so complicated that you won't want to deal with her anymore. Loving her means you get to see her at her worst and most vulne

Hey

                                              Hey, I know we weren't meant to be together And between us, this might never work at all. But what love would it be if I wasn't still happy for you When you parted from me and between us built a wall. Hey, I know you don't feel the same way And you can never reciprocate this feeling And you should know I don't feel upset In fact, I'm on my way to healing. Hey, I always knew I might never get you And we might not have our desired end So I just look for opportunities to talk to you. Becauese I'm okay being just a friend. Hey, I might not be the one And there's someone else who'll meet you in a while Who has been born with the streak of luck And who deserves to see your smile. But hey, when you smile I smile too. This big, goofy grin on my face. And I'll always be waiting at home for you. If you ever decide to stop by, in case. Because, hey, you know, love doesn't always mean being together. I find solac

There's a girl

Image
                                        Remember the days when you couldn't stop singing dancing and dressing up laughing and grinning? Well that was before they all mocked how you dressed said you would never fit in with the rest and so you stopped smiling and changed what you wore when music plays you do not dance anymore in case you look silly in case you look daft for fear it will dredge up those memories past for fear that you'll feel like you used to back then embarrassed and worthless again and again see you stopped singing loudly then stopped altogether stopped being someone that they would remember  but there's a girl watching she's looking to you trying to figure out what she should do should she stop singing and swallow her voice? pick outfits to wear that would not be her choice? should she resist urges to get up and dance cause sitting there quietly no one will laugh but neither will she she will not know the feeling of singing so loudly and dancing so free
