The Spark

All was darkness.  All was quiet.  All was cold. The Goddess floated as just a speck in the vast void of nothingness.  Her existence was devoted to holding herself together, for she held within her all that was and all that would be.  Time meant nothing to her, except that the harder she tried to hold together, the harder it became.  She didn't know what would happen to her if she just let go and she felt afraid.  She felt alone.  After holding on as long and as hard as she could, she began to tire.

That was when she felt it.  What was it?  It began to glow within her.  A spark.  Hope was born.  As hope washed over her she realized that all she had done out of fear was to hold herself back.

"What if I disappear?" Fear cried.

"What if I don't?" Hope answered.

The Goddess felt warm and happy.  It was magical!  And then she released her hold.

The Universe exploded into existence.  The Goddess was so happy.  She took the spark and split it into four pieces, imbuing them with all that she was, all of her happiness, all of her hope and then she created love.  Love was a light that would shine in the darkness.  Love was freedom.  Love was forgiving.  It was the desire to create happiness.  It was the truth.  It was unending and persistent.

The Goddess then put her love into the four sparks, kissed them and sent them out. Then she watched them, guiding them and blessing them.  The sparks were energy and would manifest themselves in different ways.  Sometimes they would fuel a star.  Sometimes they would create a planet.  They created you, dear reader. You are a creation of hope, love, light, of freedom. So live. 

The Greatest

You made yourself out to be
The most amazing thing
anyone could see
But you just turned out to be
The greatest disappointment to me

Everything you said was true
Ended up as fake as you
Your facade was just a show
You wore it thinking I'd not know
The greatest disappointment to me

The only person you care about
Is yourself and the tired words you spout
Mansplaining on your stupid blog
maintaining status as a slob
The greatest disappointment to me

Promises you wouldn't keep
The bullshit piled elbow deep
So observant that you're asleep
Do you ever open your eyes
The greatest disappointment to me

Every new one, the best ever!
Never felt this way before
Every single one. The best.
Until the next one in a month
The greatest disappointment to me

Love will never come to you
Because you love attention more
Yeah, you're an attention whore
Post 'at hospital' a hundred times more
The greatest disappointment to me

Ask your "friends" and they'll agree
They stay for what they get to see
The guy they want to take to bed
Then find out you're the worst they've ever had
The greatest disappointment to me

They keep you in a little box
So they can live and you are stuck
Afraid to go. afraid to stay
if only they knew how much you'd pay
The greatest disappointment to me

You claim to be such a nice guy
but underneath you're just a lie
then had the nerve to ask me why
I would leave. Because you're
The greatest disappointment to me

From the bottom, you think you top
But alpha anything, you are not
No one tells me what to do
So I mean it. Fuck you.
The greatest disappointment to me
