Goddess

in the present

i reside

no longer drawn

to what’s left behind

with trust & peace

all of it, i’ve released

it’s the only way to be

it’s the only way i’ll survive

in this life

i’m ready to thrive

please never lie

to me

i would never do that to you

you see

we’re two different souls

& see things differently

i would never shame you for that

i know the way things go

the truth i will always uphold

when you hate me,

you really hate yourself

i used to feel sadness for her

i did pity her

indifference is my new motto

equanimity, it’s all the same

for your actions, do you feel shame?

be kind to karma

it’s never a game

sigh…

in this dance of life

you get pushed & pulled

all kinds of directions

you must keep up

they say

what if i create my own

move to my own rhythm

find my own beat

what could they do to me?

what would it cost me to truly just be me?

their words roll of my back

for too long i’ve felt very deeply

i want things lighter now

i change the tune of my frequency

set my sights higher

than one could ever see

i look upon your face

i see the love you have for me

can i rest on your chest

& fall asleep to your heartbeat?

leading me to sweeter dreams

& sweeter things than

i’ve ever known

may this last forever

as we remain one, together

it could’ve been whenever

but we chose now

under this ever~changing weather,

your vows will you keep?

i experience myself in you

my mirror

i hope you’ll always be

my june baby

the blues left me

“be mine?”

i said, “maybe”

playing it cool

as if your arrival i haven’t hoped for

the clock reads 4:44

for the record

you’re the one i most adore
