Easy to Say

You shouldn’t be 
someone you're not
— a fantasy
that other’s plot
For pride thereof
as love is love
be true to you

Mistakes Were Made

I felt quite strong
so took a leap
and landed wrong
down in a heap
I knew right then
I’d try again
just not untaught

A fire burns
within my soul
as my heart yearns
to fill the role
of your best friend
until the end
And then, again
