You are enough

We all have a disguise on. 

We are all forced to hide ourselves behind a mask,
making ourselves "socially acceptable". 
We all try to morph ourselves into something 
that wont be ridiculed and shamed. 

But why?
Why are we as a society so evil?
Why do we make fun of those who are content
Just because they don't fit our idea of "perfect". 

Why does there have to be one ideal, 
when is is physically impossible for us all to be the same? 
In fact, if we were all the same
life would be boring, 
and we would all feel as if we werent enough. 

Why do we only get acknowledged for our "flaws", 
and never complimented on our own unique beauty. 

Why are we corrupting the human race 
into a population of people who are feel like
they will never be enough. 

Well, I would like to tell all of you reading this
a message that nobody hears enough:

Even if you dont get straight A's
you are smart in your own way. 

Even if someone tells you
that you are ugly,
there are COUNTLESS 
ways that you are truly beautiful.

Whatever you are interested in, 
pursue it!
There is no shame in any passion you may have. 

And you make the world a better place 
just by being in it.

And yes, this applies to YOU. 
Dont listen to anybody who tries to tell you otherwise. 

We all have our struggles, 
you aren't alone.

    A warm wind blows
    through blooming birch trees.
    Specks of green sprinkle the barren wasteland
    that winter left in its wicked wake. 

    Snow slowly melts from its resting place,
    drip, drip, dripping into puddles.

    Poisonous Embrace

    I found solace in your heavenly embrace, 
    for you gave me love in a time of hate
    But you tied me up in your poisonous lace.

  • The Art of Laughing

    She taught me to laugh,
    head tossed back 
    hair cascading down my back. 

    She taught me to laugh, 
    the loud happy sound
    reverberating off of every surface
    in the room,
    drawing the eyes and ears
