I don’t want to be where you are

I want to be where I am

.

I want to be loved

And I am

By friends

By family

.

I want to be cared for

And I am

By friends

By family

.

I want to be surrounded by art

And I am

Especially by my own

By others

By women

By creativity

.

I want to be cozy

and I’m not

Yet

But I am the one who can work on that

.

I no longer want to be overwhelmed by my room

So I need to declutter

I want to make it easier to move

So I need to declutter

.

I want beauty

so I’m make it

Paint it

.

I want purple hair

So I’ll ask my friend to dye it

.

I want fun plans

So I’ll make them

.

I want to dance

So I’ll go

.

I want to be cherished

And I am

And I’ll continue to cherish back

.

I want to write

So I am

I want my writing

To be recognized

So I’ll do something about it

.

I want to love myself

So I’ll do all that I’m asking

And maybe kiss a mirror or two

.

This started about you

Thank Creation it ends about me

love poems
