I believe people are inherently good and I write poems about it

the colors, the colors, the colors to tell
Sisyphus never wept when the boulder fell
But I do, I do, I do every time
for the waiting grows longer, the taunt of the rhyme

the vault of my soul space to die inside
was never an issue nor was my pride
if you erase what they hate, they can't fix you at all
actions protect when you're seen as a doll

Push a boulder up
watch the tide roll in
what's new to learn
of original sin?
it's the history to look back
not the doubt that crept in
it's the essays I wrote in school
& what I learned from where I've been

My back is broken
I have to wear heels
on stage in the spotlight
as the men make new deals.
When they bought the West
they banked on no fight
from the Natives & women
as they claimed their own right.

Liminal, Lucid is real
Wise men are hunting the foxes with guns
I'm with you in dreams when I can, my dear
but they trained me not to run

And the story's mine but my dear

the dragonflies have followed me my whole life
as I ran through the maze, charted, & mapped
as I got smaller you got larger
& the drink vials were never recapped
they sit on the floor
at the base of the hole
we got lost rather quick
and I want to come home

The ghosts & the spirits are helping me
get acclimated to these human ways
A Witch I'll be forever, my love,
even past my dying days
I long for the mountains with their treacherous peaks
to cry after all that I've seen
the answers I found, the years that we lost
the mess that this has been

Do you still dream of me, darling?
Your Peter gone so long?
I'm sorry, I want to scream at Luna
that I'm just now starting my song.
but I'm back now, feet on the ground
well, mostly, my ankles, they fight
the winged shoes tempt me sometimes
it's nice to feel so light

When will the mountains doth move for us?
I'm pushing these boulders up
I'm chopping off their heads
they grow back: maybe I should stop?
This cyclone that we chose when we were young
has grown ugly, fat, & large
I know the seasons changed again
I'm sorry if I starve.
