I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

How She Became Me


What would she be doing if it wasn’t for that beating
muscle tucked behind her lungs, encapsulated behind
my rib cage, like a child, tucked in bed for the night
undercovers comforted by warmth—this child that
craves genuine affection while in a world where who
can tell genuine & pure affection from a convincing
imposter. She’s sincere & deserves sincere in return.
I marvel at her imperfections & the knowing that she’s
oblivious of them all. It broke my heart when the world
showed them to her and taught her such a word as ‘failure’.
That tyranny I’ll never forgive.
