Do You

You don’t really know me Do you Do you know that I write poetry And sometimes songs About love and achy things Do you know I paint my feelings Spray paint feels good to me Emotions, canvas and glitter Heals oceans inside of me Do you know how I like my coffee Or that I drink saffron tea You don’t really know me Do you Where do I fit in In your grandiose plan Of me and you together If you don’t know The cost of where I’ve been And the ache for where I’m going Do you know how bad I miss my mom How I cry myself to sleep Cause we aren’t speaking Where do I fit in In your grandiose plan Of me and you together If you don’t know The cost of where I’ve been And the ache for where I’m going Seven months later… Do you know my favorite color Changes with each season Do you know the wind knows my name The ocean is my friend Fire is the breath inside me The earth quakes at my command You’re in the presence of inner beauty And still you reach for me Like something to be held Not known Discover me Or leave me be Where do I fit in In your grandiose plan Of me and you together If you don’t know The cost of where I’ve been And the ache for where I’m going You don’t even know me Do you
