i will

match the energy you give out
or read into it wrong and overthink what it’s all about
my thoughts run a hundred per minute
and you are usually in it
i can hold the bad ones back for the most part but hearing it come from you, helps me not fall apart

you are my safe person and 
i will give you my all 
diving in deep 
i’m not afraid if i have to face a waterfall
please be gentle with me
im all in if we’ll do this honestly

im falling so far deep
in love and i want to take that leap.

the tiger and social media

what you see is not always what you get,
like a tiger scared by a house cat.
we sometimes forget
that appearances can be deceiving
just like we’re trained to master the act of concealing
the emotions that don’t serve our audience
in a zoo they all want
to see a tiger at its finest performance 
no one knows the struggles of the tiger
since no eye sees behind the curtain where life seems to be a little harsher.

Presence

Your presence ignites a spark
that you may not see 
like a matchstick whose capable
of starting a fire in me

In your absence,
continues an ordinary day 
until when you’re around do i display
a sense of enthusiasm 
in the air 
an energy only found
in your presence
when you are here.

a kid at heart

she thinks older than her age
but she plays like a kid with bliss
like a ferocious dragon—treated wrong
face the fiery rage, you’d lose your wits.

treating her right does not guarantee a kiss
only to the one she loves
she’d grant that wish
you do her wrong
not a piece of you would be missed.

like a kid she goes 
willing to play and learn
eyes gaze at her with awe
what a sight to see
lovely as she.
