i never needed

more then i had

until that summer

when i realized

i needed so much more

and for once

i could 

reach for the stars

hold them tight

keep them awhile

then one night

why ban words

when they speak the truth

i know our world has hardships

that we must overcome

i know some see things

in a different light

but when a child

sees a book

on how a boy

When I write poems about people in my life

I worry

They know exactly who they are

I wanted to scream in her face

tell her she is beautiful in every single way

make sure she knows 

she should never believe

the ones who tore her down when she was young

made her think

I fall 

    Down 

             Down

                       Down

Land on grass
