Seasonal scenery silently seen Sounds stifled, society seems serene She savors sweets - smells sunflowers Soft skin stimulated, sensational shower Symbols she signals, seeking support Society sees such sentences so short
We've struggled and said "no" Made our boundaries crystal clear We've given in submissively To alleviate without consent our fear We no longer know who we are Our identities have gone astray We struggle with our memories Willfully wishing them away A sudden touch can trigger us We never forget the violations We're startled by sudden sounds Sometimes into dissociation We're not sure how to trust We generally feel insecure We're always second-guessing Of our own decisions we're unsure We battle wi
Thoughts and feelings both concealed Teeth and tongue frequently reunited The alternative being excess chaos Spoken and implicit ammo uninvited Burning fuel beneath camouflage invisible Verbal bullets wittingly choked back Battling the urge to ignite a hostile war In spite of your unprovoked attack Your open and closed hostilities rebuffed I suffer inner conflict out of sheer respect In favor of peaceful conditions for others Who never detect my mental straitjacket For the sanity of others my ow
Why do you keep doing things I have not approved? Bringing other animals here simply will not be excused. I am not a bird simply here for your amusement, Listen to me human while I clear up the confusion. If you bring home a bird - that means it is my snack Don't lock it away from me or I assure you I'll attack. I'll make a mess of everything to break open that cage, And you will have no right to throw a fit of human rage. Rodents, birds, and rabbits are only to be treats, Other felines or dogs
I will never forget the blissful summer of '09 Love, fear, adrenaline bursting through my veins That was the summer I experienced my firsts: Relationship, love-making and lets not forget the planes My first time at an airport, I was going alone I was scared - that's for sure - but what could I do?

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" This verse is running around in circles in my head I hate when we argue and get into such fights I feel bad about all the awful things that were said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" A simple saying meant to act as one's moral guide I know I should apologize - I genuinely want to What is standing in my way is swallowing my pride "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" This certainly holds true the other way around
Little miss innocent, miss uncommonly kind, Sweetheart, wake up - wherever you are I know that you're in there somewhere I feel you sleeping within my heart. It's about time you woke up now, I can't do without your positive outlook, Keep those rose-colored glasses on, Don't stop devouring those books. Darling, your imagination is a wonderful thing, Daydreams will never cause you stress. Please stop worrying what people think of you, You are so blissfully, wonderfully blessed To have that optimis
I used to race to the front door when I'd hear you come home, I would greet you excitedly with a hug and a smile I was daddy's little girl, it didn't take much to make you proud - Nor did it take much to make you angry and hostile. As I grew older it was much more of a challenge, Making you proud and appeasing you were a definition combined. I appeased you one moment, then suddenly disappointed, And proud again the next moment in your shifty state
