All that the universe wants to tell me is that I'm great
people keep taking that away from me
I've learnt to listen to myself
I'm great
Georgia, you're great
it's okay to be great
you don't have to be afraid of it
you don't have to pretend it isn't true because it might hurt someones feelings
you don't have to be modest
down play it
you don't have to be anything other than who you are
anyone you have to pretend around is wrong
if they stress you out
they're wrong
if they make you feel anything other than yourself
they're wrong
That doesn't mean you have to stand still
that doesn't mean you can't grow
can't change
can't be better
can't make mistakes
can't progress
can't reflect
can't adjust your actions
change your mind
or apologise
But you can say no
you can back out
you can call people out
you can tell the truth
honesty is a BFG 10,000
shoot a giant hole of evolution into them.

Another friend
another leech
another thing that can't see beyond themselves
another it that claws and scratches at kindness
another cat turning away from me
more effort gone to waste
more kindness left unseen
more lessons learnt that shouldn't be
more proof that the world punishes the good
more evidence that the selfish are strong
that truth is ignored
that the people who claim to love so much
know so little of love
they can't see it
when it's shouting at them
I'm so tired
GROW THE FUCK UP
I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER
I AM NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU
I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS
YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE
FUCK
OFF.

I'll give you something to be jealous about.

Is it you?
Is it?
Perhaps I'll never know
Perhaps the trick is closing my eyes and simply falling
I've landed on bricks before
I really hope you're something softer than that.

You understand the things that can't be understood.
