“So tell me about yourself”
What do you want to know?
“Anything you want to tell me”
Alright.
I’m a walking constellation of heavenly secrets
I use my fantasies as an outlet
These fantasies that breed in the waves of my mind
I generate desires to feel some sort of something,
Out of the nothingness I am surrounded by
From the little time I’ve lived, I can confidently say that I have given
Not for my own benefit but for the greater good I’m able to play a role in
Unfortunately, I don’t have much to show for it
But in becoming an enabler to the selfish
I’m not respected or even appreciated
Taken for granted, neglected
But my heart of gold beats through it all
After it bleeds into healing
Daring to outlive all the hatred hereditary to their kind
But foreign to mine
I’m made out of the structure that guards man’s heart and breath
I have persuaded kingdoms to fall with a gentle kiss
And have raised kings and princes with the same lips
Born with an expression of glory they tried to suppress
With straightened hair and bleached ambition
I won’t let them
Loving me ends wars
Own me and you’ll never know
Was that enough for you?
“Tell me more. Please”
