desire.

i'm just a fucked up girl looking for her own piece of mind.
to let everything go and learn in retrospect,
and find the better half.

a rock to keep steady and balanced.
that has been through shallow and deep waters,
and knows when to give up and when to live.
that has battled circumstances out of their control,
and triumphed with their own definition of success.
to be stronger, to hate less, to develop compassion.

a warship that defends and protects,
but also loves beyond the limits of their own.
that knows how to fight for something,
that is better and bigger than themselves.
who knows the power of their voice,
and the power of reason.

one that adapts.
that can converse with the rich and white,
but can come home to the peripheries of wealth,
and live humbly.
that does not live their life through material goals,
because they know how it's like for everything to be taken away.

someone who listens.
because we all have two ears and one mouth,
and should understand more and speak with intention.

someone who speaks.
not of just activism, justice, and/or truth.
but for emotional worth and sentiments,
because that has been a void of mine,
that i am just learning to unlearn.

because life flows, whether or not i choose to abide its current.
