i'm a girl

my little prayer

i was meant to be loved, inextricably
and without apprehension
i was meant to be held, firmly
more specifically at the hip
and by the hand

i was meant to be paid attention to
without interruption
and i was meant to pay attention in
return
to give and to nurture
heart, pleasure and loyalty

so tell me now,
why am i constantly bombarded
by the Sons of Cowardice?
why do you test me,
if not just to break my spirit?

i am aware that i am
incapable
of being more aware
than my brain allows me to be

it is good for everyone
when i am adored
everyone will win
when i am adored
so don't break my spirit
anymore

"i'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. i make mistakes, i am out of control, and at times hard to handle; but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

"if you think i'll let you pull me down to
your third class communication
and bulldoze over all my sensitivities,
you've read me all wrong."
