You don’t know me You don’t own me You don’t show me Paradise Only tease me

Don’t try to be divine ‘Cause we’ve always been Just try to be yourself My out fits your in

I’m just looking for An open invitation To bathe you in love

I’m not sure how I’ve come this f… From sinking pit to shooting star. Could it be when I loved my scars… Or when I chose to be this bard? Maybe, it happened, as a lark.

Connie L. and Billy Bright Always kept me up at night Had a love that never sleeps Wore their hearts out on their sle… Everything they felt inside

The sort of woman I have chose I didn’t think exist in does She piques my int’rest, sparks my… And makes me feel a love worth sho…

I have an idea Of who I’m s’posed to be And that’s the whole reason I’ve never been happy

I don’t write poems for poets Flowery language, indulge us I break it down With a simpler sound And anything more would be less

The waves, curls, cowlicks; Your idiosyncrasies Make me love you more.

My soul knew that I can’t accept A fucked up view or perspective So threw me to the darkest pit To let my love be beacon lit

Part of me Feels lonely Part of us Feels the love Part of you
