Take Me Away

take me away

to where palm trees

provide shade,

where sun rays radiate

a Midas' touch on my skin

reflection on my outer

of my glow from within,

wanderlust stricken

with no other cure

I feel like I'm stuck in this cocoon

of a room

drowning in familiarity

I need to break free soon.

feeling my last gasp of

 tedious monotony

ho hum hurrahs,

commonplace consistencies

will never be enough

to cure

this bore

that has taken over me,

I need to feel liberated

experience things I've never seen.

to strive to survive

outside of the box of desolate despondency,

these average expectations I will never see

because they will never be

me.

This Love Isn't Convenient

This love isn't convenient.

I'm not going to love you because it's my birthday

when there's a holiday around the corner

or because you're pulling away.

This love is not selfish

manipulative

or immature.

I'm not going to fill you with false hope when I know that this door is too heavy to hold open any longer.

And I'm not going to love you to prove anything to anyone.

This love is not for show.

This love is consistent
patient
and unwavering.

And will be here through good times and bad.

I'll love you through the random texts and calls from my ex

because I know that if I wanted to be there

I wouldn't be here.

With you.

This love does not wane in the presence of my past.

This love is not opportunistic or shallow.

This love is honest.

Passionate.

Tried and

True.

This love is Me.

This love

.. Is Love.

And it's all for you.

I don't push my thoughts or views on anyone

And I don't look down on others for not seeing the world the way that I do

I appreciate every opinion or viewpoint for what it is 

And it took a lot of time and growth in myself to become this way

I've learned more about who I want to be by viewing certain traits in others that I didn't want to become.

Nobody's perfect.

I'm learning,

You're learning

We can all learn and grow at our own pace

On our own personal levels of awareness and one day hopefully learn to respect that of others. 

Growth,

Enlightenment,

It's meant to be shared. 

( SIDE NOTE: In the new year I'm going to stop trying to be everything to everyone. )
