There is so much beauty in the world
And it hurts to breathe
There is rejection coated in anger
Aren't these things - Emotions
Wonderful?
Oh, last night I was so upset
And then I remembered the beauty
of fear
Self doubt
The splendor of denial and
The crank in my brain that spins - Overanalyze.
So instead I sat and began to laugh
How foolish is this
I don't love you
and yet I deny you the pleasure of not loving myself?
I am so ready to kiss any lips - Requited?
I move first, before the brain.
There is too much beauty in this world
When you say this - No.
Oh, if only I was not so proud
Not so beautiful
And the oil in the fire continues to burn
