Know your worth Before looking to appease others Or allowing others To label you And stick a price On your forehead So that if they value you Less than you know your worth to be Then you will know That they are not worth your time

The Shifting Sands
via The Shifting Sands Reblog! Firstly for the Word of the Day Challenge, and this poem of the all-devouring Shifting Sands (which I believe may have been a metaphor for a part of the mind) based on probably one of my best Noteflight compositions, which you can listen to either below the poem itself (on its […]
This poem needs a title!
I’ve spent at least 20 minutes wondering what to call this poem. Any suggestions? I love and hate in equal measure I relish a challenge but I can’t stand the pressure I’ve come to despise the very nature of society But I’d sacrifice myself in a heartbeat for humanity I second guess my every […]
