if I'm repeating something I'm good at.
So I'm always looking for new challenges.

My legs are not skinny as sticks,

You're so shallow.

it would be we're all okay,

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,
with songs of the sparrow and sea-foam.
Let mad beauty collect itself in your eyes
and it will shine - Calling me.
For I long for a man with nests of wild things in his hair.
A man who will Kiss the Flame.

and I'm willing.

and move yourself at the same

other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
