maybe

maybe i’m not shy
or introverted
or defective
or broken
or any of the other put downs
my mind likes to offer up

maybe
just maybe
i am exactly who i needed to be
to survive

cautious
careful
considerate

maybe i learnt
to look before i leap
to consider all possibilities
to be sure before allowing myself to relax

maybe that negative voice
only speaks of the version of me
that has his guard up

maybe
just maybe
if you get to know me
if you wait long enough
if you earn my trust

maybe then
i’ll let you in

maybe then
you will see
who i really am

enough

why can’t
it be enough
to accept
that my life
simply is?

a casual comment
uttered by a stranger
felt better

With You

something
must be wrong
with you
how else
would you
see worth
in me

You Say

You say you love me,
But you don’t know me,
Not the full me,
Not every part of me,
Not as I really am.

You say I should open up,
That I should share,
That I should let you in,
Into my inner world,
Into my mind, my emotions, my everything.

You say you will accept me,
But that’s a lie,
You don’t know me,
Not all of me,
Not the parts you haven’t seen.

Do you know yourself well enough?
How will you react to me?
What will you do when I show you?
What will you think of my darkness?
My pain? My weaknesses? My desires?

No.
You only accept the parts you’ve seen.
Then you make assumptions,
Of yourself,
And of me.

That I’m not that bad,
That there isn’t much more,
That embarrassment holds me back,
That you can save me,
And that you would want to.

It is safer to hide,
To show a just little,

Just the parts that are acceptable,
The parts I have practiced,
The parts that work.

You don’t love me,
You just love those parts,
You just love the surface,
Your love hasn’t touched the depths,
It never will.

The Wolf & The Cat

Erotica, R-18+

The large wolf toyed
With the little pussy cat
He played with her
The same way she played with the rat

Pinning her down
Then letting her go
He gave to her
What she used to bestow

That primal power
That predatory lust
That look in his eyes
Submit she must

She wants to fight back
To show she’s no easy prey
But she couldn’t help but accept
To be his from this day

How could she not
When he is so much more
Besides she’s curious
There’s a new role to explore

The little pussy cat
Now owned by the beast
The large protector
With her as his feast

From hunter to hunted
She accepts his lead
She accepts his commands
She accepts his seed

She accepts her role
To always keep him satisfied
Knowing that he will love her always
His new pussy cat bride
