I begged for the world to be still but that’s like asking my Mother Nature to not give me dragon breaths and hail storms so I stopped.
The raindrops danced on my eyelids and the orchestra of winds passed between my fingers and on my cheeks was warmth.
I sulk.
Tiptoeing isn’t so difficult after nails have chipped away and the cold makes the blood trickle down my ankles to freeze midway.
I asked myself where depth came from and I thought the cosmos. I thought the stars and the sun and the moon and the black holes contained so much depth and that is where you came from.

She asked me from where I came from and I gave her stereotypical propaganda that my dad thinks I am or something I should be and she was hooked.
When I was eleven I took a bite from the forbidden fruit and learned the word sexuality painted across my naked body.
I sulk.

I am emotional.

I am safe.
What is curiosity without having seven lives and whiskers?
Adam and Eve weren’t felines but they knew anyways. They took a bite without fear and I jumped off a hundred story building without empathy.
I am fine.
Self destruction took me by my eyes, hugged, choked me and said, “I am disappointed in you.”
I turned back around and there she was. Beautiful, alluring, someone I knew how to love.
“Cuddle with me,” she said.
“Hold me,” I said.
“I want a girl,” he said.
I sulk.
