Day 5:


Born 

the philosopher 

of the heavens 

I fall in love daily 

smile too much 

and laugh too loudly 

I am still uncomfortable 

in my body 


Born 

the philosopher 

of the heavens 

I fall in love daily

its always one sided 

smile too much 

with my big big nose

and laugh too loudly

with my big big mouth 

I am still uncomfortable 

in my body 


Day 6:


I.

Remember the day 

your father took your hand 

and said,

in a language 

with no place on his tongue

'look at the night sky 

endless and full'

You're eyes 

as wide as galaxies

shed vanity and tears 

engulfed in guilt 

for sharing the same 

universe as that sky 


II.

You have one dimple 

and a sharp tongue 

currently stained 

by blackberry 

with a cheeky smile 

you steal kisses 

from boys who 

are'nt sure why

 they like you 



III.

Head a mass 

of kinks

inside of it 

all of your screws 

are not tight;

Your aunt burns 

your forehead 

trynna straighten 

the wrong type of kink


 

IIII.

Everyday I miss conception

by seconds

I am one backspace away 

from existence on most 

screenwriters keyboards

It has been like this 

since I was born 

It will not be this way 

when I die
