Thought Suppression

Do not think about a White bear.
What comes into your mind?
A White elephant?
A White rose?
Or perhaps the White snow?

Maybe a Black bear?
Or even a Grizzly?

There is something to be said by
why you try not to think of a White bear.
The answer is simple, but do not be alarmed!
It's all in the mind and even the best of the best
get tricked like this.

Do not fear feeling silly for suppressing
your thoughts of a White bear!
As you remember I did quite the same!
Think as you wish and let the mind
wander into the deep fathoms of your mind!!!

This is just a simple test,
Just remember...
                         Do not
                                     think
                                             of a
                                                    White
                                                             bear.........

When I See Us as Equal

What I mean when I see us as equal is
finally being together without fear.
The fear of rejection from a job
you wanted.
The fear of being evicted and not having
that warm welcome at all.
The fear that you'll be assaulted and
can't do anything about it.

Fear dissipates, but only with time.
Fear will become a past problem
for us because we will show it
by our power in numbers.

Numbers that increase everyday
with every rising sun there is a boy
or girl coming out to show the world they're
not afraid anymore.

Fearless in every thought is what equal
is as we see it.

My Shelter

Spontaneity, charm, and a smile that melts
my heart.
There's this thing about him.
Something that I see in those hazel eyes.
A beautiful soul that shines like the Sun.

How his arms held tight to me in bed.
The way he reminds me that I am beautiful
He's got this thing about him that
helps me the man I want to be for him.
Bringing out the best in me like uncovering
treasure in the farthest depths of the sea.

When he lays on my chest, I feel like
he is one with me.
He hears my heartbeat and knows its
his.
I'm always at peace with him.

Everything about him makes me
view the world through a different lens.
Everything about him makes me want to be
with him.
He makes me fall harder

                                      and harder

                                                        in love.

Coming Apart

It slips through my fingers like sand
in a hourglass.
Like tears falling slowly down my
face.
I'm coming apart while trying to stay
strong.

I'm coming undone like a drag queen's
corset after a long night.
Coming undone like a spool of thread.
The tears are still rolling down my
face.
Tears I shed for the loss of security.
Tears of an illusion that's ruined by
reality's bitch slap.

There is no time for more tears.
No time... yet there is always time.
I will raise from my own ashes
like the phoenix I know I am.

Still I sit here falling apart.
Days flying by...
Needing the illusion to let me sleep at
night.
