I had never sustained a feeling of anger for so long
that it threatened to make disintegrate
my natural order; so oversensitive to criticism
and apt to take it personally. I know, you're trying to help me
and I'm sure, it's in my best
and vested interests. I can't help but give a fuck;
I still believe there's a real and noble purpose
to our enterprise that doesn't go together
so long as you're standing over me.
I can't support my words, can't make heard my laughs,
can't say what I mean with charm, can't make you
fall in love with the paper version of me
as well as I can carry out your orders
with eagerness and flourishes. At least
give me back my arrogance because



I want to be the girl who when she stands
culls the petals from the beings
and knits them into stories



I want to cry the ocean, you can't
do it for me, you've done so much already,
pulled the heavens over my eyes



the words sting as they fall from my lips
for it's the jealousy that's speaking.
I want the birds of the sea
to follow me like they follow you around



so much of what I do is born from my admiration of you
so much that you alone have the capacity to consume me.



I want to travel with you after this wind blows over
when I think we'll be best friends
On wanting the respect but not the love of someone you admire


I thought writing this would make it go away
but eh

hmmmmmm.
love how this it titled, and how it seems the opposite of that.
this doesn't even sound like you.. there's something decidedly distant about it.
not to say i don't like it. it definitely makes me think.

p.s. i disagree. you could make anyone fall in love with the paper version of you
