"i’ll appear insane to them
to be sane with the beloved
i’ll appear the young fool
to those who clutch knowledge
until their fingers bleed with desperation yet know nothing of the wisdom
that emptiness brings
i’ll stumble blindly
through the dark night
before i chase the light
because behind that radiant appearance is an exaggerated shadow
Love
is beyond such things of right or wrong because within every sinner
is a slumbering saint
and within every saint
is a sinner parched with desire
i have no interest in living a life
of quiet desperation
with a nice smile that silently begs, “approve of me.”
i’m here to dance with
all the wonderful and wicked
creatures of the world
as the earth quakes and trembles
beneath my bare feet.
so, toss aside your notions of the world being split in black and white
meet me in that divine grey area
i’ll be waiting for you
to dance with me" - allie michelle
