Kind Words

"What beautiful sunshine!" they say,
"Oh yes what a beautiful day!"

And soon after in the distance comes
"and you, too, are beautiful in every way."

I turn, but no one spoke.
There is no person there.

But the breeze carried this to me
and I heard it loud and clear.

Aurora Borealis

I see you are making me disappear,
so that you can live without fear.
If killing me means you can live,
then do away with me quickly, dear.

But in this other dimension, far away,
Where your peace of mind does not reside,
Love and care is here to stay,
My devotion refusing to run and hide.

The Real Me

the beast that is me

be glad you’ve escaped 

you knew not the monster 

that dwells deep in its cave 

I am told this is true 

people love you at a glance 

but when they get the real you

they regret they took the chance
