Nature vs. Nurture

I dare you to dig into the depths of my mind,

stare into my soul

and

show the world what you find.

Around my heart,

you'll find my art;

a place to build beginnings

or to hit re-start.

One day,

 you four will see that

You're just like me,

pretty baby.

Your a child

but 

you'll never be granted a childhood.

And I am so sorry that is true.

As you twirl in your day dress

I just look at you

and

 your eyes explode into my head.

Oh your eyes,

they reflect the utter innocence of your mind.

How I am completely mesmerized

when you look into mine.

They are so wide,

full of untouched time.

I want to wash this world clean

before it's seen.

Before it's seen

by those curious, colorful eyes.

I want to wash this world clean

so it can never try to make you cry.

I want to steal you away

and show you beautiful teachings.

Beautiful days

that make the sun stay vivid 

even when it retreats away.

I want to give you

CONSTANCY,

CONSISTENCY

before this world pushes you into vulnerability.

I'll never abandon you because 

I know what you need.

I want to show you when

to hold on

and when

to hold back.

And that no problem is ever solved with the solution of attack.

I hope when you're ready to hear these things

my heart, my head, and my soul are running on the right track.

I need to fill your heart with purity

and convince you that is the way to be.

Honesty is the only way to see

even if others don't agree

and try to hurt you aimlessly.

Other people only have power over you if you let them;

this I guarantee.
