They built a wall to keep the waves at bay,
And, for a time, it worked.
But all the glaciers melted increasing the seas
and the waves grew larger
and the wall grew higher…
until it blocked out the sky
and they couldn’t see the stars anymore.
*Inspired by current events and Lizzi’s trip to Kenya.
Say you never hurt me. Say it again.
Because maybe then, as you say it, it will be true.
Yes, this is how we are now. This is how we’ve always been,
You’ve just ignored your part in the process.
As you said, actions speak louder than words,
and, baby, your actions are a fucking war zone.
Go ahead, say you never hurt me.
The scars on my heart tell a different story.

Find me lying
Lying under the snow.
A wishfully-thought peace
Of mind,
Don’t mind
How I go
But I would rather

Quick! Quick! Quick!
From life, not slow,
For little me
Who never learned to dance
For frightened me
Who never took the chance
For ugly me
Who ne’er accepted love
For stubborn me
Who wouldn’t change enough.
For all my loves
Whose love is just a loss
And finds me lying,
Lying under the snow
Stained dark throughout
And so whiteout
I go
With just one wish:
That I had the gumption
Daring, or even the snow
To accomplish
This.
