It’s so easy to internalize.
It’s so easy to project
but what would it be like,
do you think,
once you realized
how to respect yourself?
There’s so much inside
our minds
to fear, when we go
walking there behind
our eyes
after midnight,
peering through the halls
that house the boxes
where we store
the lies of our past
lives.
And as the sun rises,
glowing in the corner,
each day shows us
there’s so much more
yet unknown.
Pain and pleasure
can both be
addictive and dangerous,
healing and confusing
whether you deny
one or the other,
whether you decide
to mix them together.
The idea is that after this
when I pay my toll
across the river
I want to believe
my ticket will read
“she absolutely
gave it her best shot.
She took what she wanted
and she loved what she got”
