A Plea
January 26, 2015
Look at all the sunbeams moonshine at your feet
Look at all the star dust shooting from your fingers, your toes
Why on earth would you choose to slither in black velvet tunnels?
You have green spring irises I would be honored to see them
Please do not stay lurking in the dark there are enough monsters in the world already
Why on earth would you deny yourself the cotton clouds above your head in favor of the gravel found on your knees?
Look at yourself
You are better than this mask you have crafted from fear.
