This little light of mine

Oh little dove,

that inner voice was

you all along.

When there were conflicting feelings

it wasn’t because

you were wrong.

~

It’s okay little boo,

don’t believe what you were told;

that you were born flawed.

That your innermost feelings were a

challenge from god.

~

Hush,

you are not

the meek submission you were sold.

You are funny.

You are clever.

You are wise.

You are bold.

~

My little love,

you are the sun, moon, and stars.

You can build your own ship,

sail long, sail far.

~

And just when the sea seems

too deep, too alone,

it will suddenly take on

the feeling of home.

~

You are held by the water

wherever you go.

A place where you will learn to

love you

and

let go.

Lucky You

Lucky you,

You’re so special,

So chosen,

So important,.

.

.

But I will never find out why.

Not until I die.

.

.

Lucky you,

You are so tertiary that you do not need to worry,

you will accept what you are given in the end and

it will make you happy.

Lucky you.

.

.

Lucky you,

If your husband wants a prettier, younger, wife,

You get a prettier, younger, friend to be forever pregnant with.

Or maybe hundreds.

Lucky you.

.

.

Lucky you,

If you don’t want to watch him flirt, play, and be in love with other women,

You can choose

between a lonely Hell, or a lonelier Heaven.

Lucky you.

Broken

The dam that kept me under control broke

The water spilled through and look what happened

The destruction of what I was told was meant to be

Became

grass,

flowers,

trees.

Don’t tell me that the dam was for my own good

You may like the desert but

I like the woods.

.

Let the daisies softly carpet what once was rough and barren

Let the trees offer their cool shade

Let the water flow into each living thing like a second breath

.

If you want to save my soul

Give it life

not

death.
