Love
Appreciation for all
I'm filled with balance
And unconditional love,
With gratitude for Earth
And the sky up above.
The night sky lights
My mind with wonders,
As the stars radiate
The universes colours.
I appreciate all I have
I'll never need more,
My body is healthy
My mind is an open door.
The key to happiness
Is the way we think,
Positive thoughts help us rise
Negative thoughts help us sink.
Self-love is a powerful tool
It connects us to how we feel,
Take time for yourself
Use your energy to heal.
There is an unconditional love
Earth gives us everyday,
I'm thankful for this world
Because love lights my way.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
