steal my poetry
paste it to your wall
because someday
when i am gone
you will look back at it
and remember my words

they use to haunt me
in the midnight hour
while you slept soundly
beneath the covers
you always knew
i would be there

but as i grew
it was not the same
i took the cruelity
and emotional torture
in hopes someday
you would never know
because i cared

i waltz through
your freedom
admiring your courage
happy it was achievable
for someone so beautiful
just like you

so go ahead
steal my poetry
appreciate it for a time
maybe then for a second
you will understand
i tried my best to carry on
