Like The Music: Artwork #49/1000
A song comes on.
And for a moment
I am transported back in time.
With you.
And I can't tell if it's you I miss,
or the feeling of being with you
that I miss.
And then the song changes.
It moves on to another track.
I am transported back in time.
With you.
And I can't tell if it's you I miss,
or the feeling of being with you
that I miss.
And then the song changes.
It moves on to another track.
And like the music, so do I.

Words & Lips: Artwork #50/1000
Have you ever felt a
word in your mouth?
Have you ever liked the
way it tasted on your tongue?
I have two words
I'm wearing on my lips
like lipstick.
Bright red.
Screaming.
word in your mouth?
Have you ever liked the
way it tasted on your tongue?
I have two words
I'm wearing on my lips
like lipstick.
Bright red.
Screaming.
LET GO.

Where I Am Wanted: Artwork #51/1000
I will not stay where I am not wanted.
Repeat that 10x over.
Do you hear me?
Let me paint you a picture.
You can take me for granted.
But I will not stay where I am not wanted.
You can ignore my texts and forget to call me back.
But I will not stay where I am not wanted.
I would rather be alone than with someone
who doesn't appreciate me.
So let me say it again.
I will not stay where I am not wanted.
I will go where I am wanted.
And I am wanted in many places.

Deep Breath: Artwork #52/1000
My mama keeps telling me to
take a deep breath.
That I will figure this out.
That I always do.
But I feel like my entire life has
been one giant deep breath in.
Only I haven't figured out how to
breathe that breath back out.

Perfectionism: Artwork #53/1000
that if everyone was
perfect all of the time
we would live in a world
without artists?
What if that meant
we would exist in a space
that could never change?
What if I believe
invention is an act of rebellion
against perfectionism?
What if you believed that too?
Would you still feel the pressure
to be perfect?

Sugar Teeth: Artwork #54/1000
I kind of want to lick the sugar off your teeth.
I kind of want to dance on the tables.
I kind of want to jump into ice cold water.
I kind of want to run through fire.
I kind of want to test the limits.
To see what I am really made of.

Your Truth: Artwork #55/1000
Something to consider.
Always take a look at yourself first.
Because for every second
you spend not living, breathing,
and speaking your truth,
you will find yourself judging,
criticizing, and blaming
everyone else.
Your judgments are an
insight to what you are hiding from.

Kissing Strangers: Artwork #56/1000
Wear sexy underwear.
Kiss a stranger.
Lick someone's finger.
I don't know, be crazy.
Do whatever you want to do.
Do it. Do it now.
Be yourself,
unapologetically yourself.

Too Hot To Touch: Artwork #57/1000
The next song plays.
I've got my headphones on.
I'm dancing in my bedroom.
No shoes.
No shirt.
I am the service.
I'm too hot to touch.
Forever I will be too much
for you to handle.
Because I'm not here to be handled.
I'm here to be admired.
Admire me like you admire fire.
You know, with a little bit of caution
and a whole lot of awe.
