Whiplash

off balance you leave me…
but you wanted to say more, you wanted to say something cool.

it’s so much easier to see what you’re not,
than to look at who you are.

it’s easy for others to see how much you want this, to feel your energy pulling inwards towards theirs.

and you act like I can’t take my time too?
Into it into you, and in side I can’t tell who is

it’s over, it’s over, one mistake once down and never up again, if you let this be what it is. If you let this be the it. But if you let your it be the now, then this is just one down in a swing band, and the next now will be up again to pull you out of the down in a dance not a battle.

It’s a dance, a swing, a duet. I wouldn’t be happy either if I thought my partner dipping me down was trying to put me in the ground.

but she isn’t.

like a second layer of skin you won’t pause to retain.

leave my mark be something leave a trace in people minds so they say I’m something so that to someone I’m everything because to myself I am nothing.

But if I can think that way, maybe I can think another.

Maybe if I let myself be my own universe of everything, I will let that fill me up. I can let my self of whole build until I don’t leave a mark but a growth. And maybe, maybe I will let myself be. And watch it, let it wait, let it see.
