igneous rock

practicing how to say no

how to stop the rain from falling

how to love oneself better than

plainly giving love and expect to be loved

the same way

i know street lights might look like stars

on the darkest of nights but they’re not

the things you thought are so important now

might be forgotten through time

i pictured myself an igneous rock

that lets other people grind and polish

until it loses its shape

and now that piece of rock is round and beautiful

but i don’t want that anymore.

t.l.

i wanna go back to my original form
