Midstofspring - Evolving. Poet. Lover

Then I Wrote to Him in Class

"Can I get get a sheet of paper?" I took it out of my beat up bag. Then generously removing the strip. I handed him the paper, giving me a straight thank you. He writes, I ponder. Then he hands me back the paper.On the same sheet of paper he wrote to me in class: "I love you.." some quote I can hardly remember. He smiled then I wrote back of something I thought at the top of my head: "I wrote: I love you till the Sun stops letting off it's heat.. but then again we'd all would have died long before this love commences."

Ladies, please normalize being high maintenance. Keep your standards high, expect people to climb to reach them. Tell them that yes, you do plan on spending your money, your time, and your energy on yourself first. Unabashedly tell people “no” with no explanation. When they ask you “who do you think you are” tell them that you’re you. And that is enough. 

Void rage gave me nothing but tears

Amplified my pain

Crippled my dreams

Obscuring my path

I never wanted this

I never wanted to be this way

Heartless you say

But there was once a day

That the monster within me once loved

With all that they had

-Lady Sira
