Goddess
I met a goddess who
taught me how to fly,
she told me that you can see a
soul by looking into the eyes
I met a goddess who showed
me how to make it my own,
she sat by a wall of crosses on the
breakfast chair she called her throne
I met a goddess who
helped me shine,
she took me to cut my hair and said
that I would fit the look just right
I had it purple
like royalty,
she dyed a few strands of her hair
to show that she supported me
I met a goddess who ran in the
middle of a horrific scene,
she laid a stranger’s head on her lap in
the middle of the road’s concrete
she is somebody who inspires me,
her grace amazes me profoundly
I met a goddess who
always got back up
even when she
got pushed down,
she taught me what it means
to unconditionally love
she dances to the beat of her own
drum and tilts her head up high
she smokes a lot of pot and
likes the clouds in the sky
I met a goddess who
told me to be kind,
she was the most kindred of all
that is incredibly hard to find
once you meet a goddess,
damned if you forget them
they’ll take your broken wings and
sew them back together again
