Fortune teller lies
Fingered on porch by farmer
I lose interest
It's snowing on Mt Fiji

This poem is based off the novel To Kill a Mockingbird
Lost in the dark my brother guides us
Missing parts of myself as we wander home
Crunch scrunch roll
Where are we? Where am I?
I didn't know this costume could be tighter
Slip pinch SNAP
I can't find my way or my brother
HELP
Fear has taken over till he appears
His kindness holds my brother like he is as fragile as his name sake
The neighbor who saved us
The villain who is gone
And life goes on

This poem is based off the novel To Kill a Mockingbird
Do lifelong dreams count if I'm not even 10?
Regardless I've accomplished mine
Standing and taking my father advice I see it
The seasons pass
2 become 3 and I think of what's been seen
The twisting and winding of my own years play like I'm seeing it for the first time
Dill and Jem share my dream and for the same reasons
I watch as we develop this dream
We seem small and fragile
Summer and Dill come and go
I realize I'm not the only one to tie the two
As I watch the last few years it hits me
As much as Cal and Atticus are the ones who raised us they are not the only ones to claim us
Dill and Jem will never understand but what a story

The (illusion of) Choice
I've been thinking about the past
Maybe we dreamt it
All the good
Hopefully we dreamt it
All the bad
One day he will be gone
Maybe then I can have my dad back
Maybe my wife will get her mom back
There is no way to know
Love makes us waiver
What if I gave up so my dad could love me again
What if I gave up so my county would love me
Either way I have no out
I am either a woman
Or a tranny faggot
I'm not sure which fate is worse
But I can not give up even if I wanted to
Mom told me to lay low I can not
Sometimes you must ignore advice
Even good advice
Because it's not what the world needs
It's not what I need
I must fight
I must create

I think I’d be better at worship if you were god instead. I know what you like, and I know the way to do it. I’ve forgotten how to be pure and wholly good, but at least I could do this right.
I remember how you said “if I was god, you’d never have to be alone. You’d never be afraid or hurt, or want for anything. I’d know what to do and when to do it, and I’d be powerful enough to help you.” I remember that every day.
It’s be easier to worship a god like that. I’ve felt how much you love me. You show me with carnal acts considered sin. You show me with words and gifts and the sweetest kisses. You show me with sacrifice.
If you were god, there wouldn’t be anyone telling me “the right way to love”, because I’d be the only one who’s ever known. I wouldn’t be berated or have to “learn a lesson” with a belt as my teacher.
If you were god would I be made to sacrifice more to you than I already do? After you’ve given everything, willingly and lovingly, what do you really have left? All I have left to give is my own body, cut open and bleeding for you at an altar.
Would you then tell me I’m beautiful? Would you say I’m more perfect, and more worthy than any lamb? Would you run your fingers through my hair as I took my last breath, holding me close as you realized you never really ever wanted me to go?
No. If you were god I wouldn’t have to do that. I would lay with you and laugh for hours, and that would be enough. You wouldn’t need the first ten percent of everything I have, because what’s mine is already yours and what’s yours is mine.
You already have my entire heart, and that is enough.

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

I was told to love God with my heart. Not my eyes, or my mind. Not my lips or hands or tongue or anything that connected me to the world of senses.
Worship from the mouth in form of song was expected, and good works from hands were as well, but there is a difference between worship and truly loving.
The world of flesh and senses was seen as something full of temptation. Always of sin. They said you couldn’t truly “love” like that. You can only worship.
For you, for every act of worship, with every sense, I can love. There is love with every word. I can love you with my eyes and my mind. I can love you with my lips and tongue, and with my hands. Every touch, every service, every gift, everything sensual and physical, I can love you with.
Every whisper and sigh, every kiss, every time I make you your favorite meal, sing you your favorite song, every time I make a fool of myself just to see you laugh, I can love you with.
We aren’t seen as pure. If loving you is my temptation, how wicked is it, truly? You make me feel holy, and I am somehow the only one who doesn’t see that as evil. If it is sin to love this way, I will have to live in it.
