Time Travel

I wish I could go back
To the times people said you weren’t enough
And cover your ears.

Declaration of Independence

From now on
I refuse to play second fiddle
Just to make you feel better about yourself

Memory Scars

You touch once
Forgetting
I’m the one who feels it forever

The world has not been gentle with you
And you’ve rarely received an apology for it
Because it just tells you that you’re the one
Who needs to change
You’re the one
Who’s too sensitive
You’re the one
Who’s in the wrong
No wonder you hurt so much

“‘My life is monotonous. I hunt chickens; people hunt me. All chickens are just alike, and all men are just alike. So I’m rather bored. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I’ll know the sound of footsteps that will be different from all the rest. Other footsteps send me back underground. Yours will call me out of my burrow like music. And then, look! You see the wheat fields over there? I don’t eat bread. For me wheat is of no use whatsoever. Wheat fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have hair the color of gold. So it will be wonderful, once you’ve tamed me! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I’ll love the sound of the wind in the wheat…’ The fox fell silent and stared at the little prince for a long while. ‘Please…tame me!’ he said.”

-Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, “The Little Prince”
