RAPUNZEL

Rapunzel
Is a legend 
A mystical work of art
The lonely, lovely lady
With the long, long hair
And that is all
Rapunzel is nothing 
Without her hair.

Rapunzel 
Is possibly the most sought after woman
In fairytale history
The -highly available- beauty 
With the long, long hair
But that is all.

Rapunzel 
Was supposed to be perfect
The charming piece of divinity 
The ever-loyal mistress of men 
Sitting patiently at the top of her tower
Combing her long, long hair
But truly, that is all.

Now let me ask you this 
What is Rapunzel 
Without her hair?
And the answer
Is that Rapunzel is nothing 
But a mask of fake femininity
The lonely, lovely lady
With the long, long hair.

    you are not you. 

    you are what i think
    alas i refuse to admit i am wrong.
    what can i say?
    i love this version of you 
    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.
  • Slippery slope

    The way is harsh
    The light is dim
    And we forget to celebrate love
    Instead condemning faultless faults and forged sins
    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
