A poet’s wish,

Is to write endlessly,

Idea after idea,

Inspiration after inspiration,

Verse after verse,

Without ever running dry on words to use.

A poet’s wish,

Is to write freely,

Express themselves,

Write what they want,

Without ever feeling the need to be appreciated.

A poet’s wish,

Is to be able to succeed in life,

Doing what they like,

Write,

Read,

Ponder,

Without ever needing to face the harsh reality of life.

A poet’s wish,

Is to be able to write forever,

Doing what they love,

Laugh,

Cry,

Never stop writing,

Without ever needing to tend to other things.

A poet’s wish,

Is to be able to be loved,

Be cared for,

Be human,

Have friends,

Have family,

Who care for you,

To put you back together when you break

Without a price.

A poet’s wish is to be focused,

A poet’s wish is to be uninterrupted,

A poet’s wish is to be perfect,

A poet’s wish is to be flawed,

A poet’s wish is to be normal,

A poet’s wish is to be free,

A poet’s wish is to be heard,

A poet’s wish is to be happy.

Be what you want,

Not what they want,

You don’t have to be good,

Just be enough for yourself.

Don't forget where you came from,

When you have reached where you've always wanted to go.

Don't forget the wish that started it all,

When you have completed your journey.

Don't forget those who have helped you,

When you can finally stand on your own.

Go, make your wish a reality.

Before you ask me to be your girlfriend, there are some things you need to know:

I’m damaged.

I get triggered easily.

I struggle with trauma memories.

There are nights when I’m curled up in a ball on the floor and I refuse to talk to anyone.

I’ll shut you out.

I won’t be able to trust you for a long time, because everyone I’ve ever trusted has always left, lied, abused me, manipulated me or chosen someone else.

I will need a lot of reassurance.

I will need you.

I will need you to keep choosing me.

I’ll need you to care when I text you saying I’m getting bad again.

I’m a lot, I know this.

So before you think I’m always happy, that I’ll always be positive, then I’ll always be smiling, know the reality before you get involved with me.

Don’t enter my life if you can’t handle it.

Lastly, don’t you dare touch my heart if you are ready for that.

I am fragile and if you can’t handle with care don’t touch my heart.

“I will make you die.” said death.

“But first I will make you break.”

“I will make you scared.” said War.

“But first I will make you bleed.”

“I will make you starve.” said Famine.

“But first I will make you feast.”

“I will make you sick.” said Plague.

“But first I will make you gone.”

“I will make you happy.” said Life.

“But first, I will make you strong.”
