Being better than
You are is
Always frightening being
What you know
To be true
Is even harder
Be your bestest
Self and others
Will recognize be
Anything less and
You’ll be forgotten
Be the oasis
Not the sand
Being better than
You are is
Always frightening being
What you know
To be true
Is even harder
Be your bestest
Self and others
Will recognize be
Anything less and
You’ll be forgotten
Be the oasis
Not the sand
Sometimes in life
We fight so
Hard against what
We fear that
We miss any
Enjoyment there instead
Turn and face
Your fears because
They’re only in
Your mind and
Not in the
World quiet your
Fears by facing
Them knowing that
Everyone else is
Afraid of you
How did we
Sneak up on
Each other how
Did this happen
To us friends
We were everything
Was fun and
Then yesterday we
Fought then realized
That we meant
More to each
Other like realizing
That we are
Copper painted gold
And not gold
Painted copper that
We’re really diamonds
And not just
Some sparkly baubles
Remember don’t find
Someone attractive in
The hopes of
Loving them love 
Them and you
Will always find
Them irresistibly attractive
The body is
The temple of
The soul but
It’s just a
Vessel a canoe
Which floats upon
The lake that
The soul is
Come swim with
Me abandon your
Boat get naked
And let us
Paddle languidly in
All that the
Other beautifully is
