"Nobody knows how long forever is...But we put it in a tiny box and give it away..."
This evokes a lot of deep thought...
"when no one was looking and when everyone was looking" that line speaks to true integrity that many seek today in our fabricated lives
I love her so much ❤️. She always tells a story
Well played Andrew =)
'' Once upon a time , we were just people nd things were just things and there were no names for anything or anyone , and anyone of us could be GOD ''.......
Nice words.. ❤️
"And anyone of us could be God" fon't mind me just crying
"We can grow up anytime we want!!!" ~ Jasmine Roberts 💗
The difference between fiction and reality?
Fiction has to make sense
They are so good. They are so, so good. Y'all.
Thank you! If you love it share it with someone else =)
It’s a thin line. She dances on it. I indulge in watching her. “I see it”
Well delivered, definitely a true story teller
"And anyone of us could be God"

"fairytale, noun, an incredible or misleading statement account or belief.
Do you see it yet?
Fairytale a noun fabricated story especially one intended to deceive"
Another piece of deception: this poem tells us how powerful words can be. How magical stories are that they even shape reality, but this art is also a tale. It is also make believe. To believe that we are merely living out stories is also a fairytale. Redefining what already exists with a bunch of words jumbled together to create this poem is also, fiction. How easy it is to think that everything we are seeing and living in now is all the wrong definitions. All the wrong sentences, all the wrong punctuations in all the wrong places.
What is true, is that nothing is. Like how change is the only permanent thing because change never stops changing. What is true is the emotions of this poet. What is true is that we are all people, that we are never the same and we are all constantly changing. The truth is, this poem is another punctuation in my sentence. Another word in my language. This poem is, yet again, another fairytale I am not ready to grow up from. What is the harm in stories? What is the pain of not being able to tell yours? I am willing to be another piece of fiction because at the very least, fairytales live longer than we do.
Does anyone know their IG handle this poem is everything to me.
I don't think they have one. Button Poetry shared this on IG and didn't share an IG handle for this poet, but they always do.
@bookishjasmin ya’ll are making me cry. Nobody even told me they put my poem up!! 😭😭😭 Thanks for the love!
The bible isnt a tale, Adam and eve isnt a tale
Every religion has their creation story. You have to accept that not everyone believes the story of Adam and Eve is literal fact. To quote the Vedas, “Wise is the one who recognises that Truth is One and one only, but wiser still the one who accepts that Truth is called by many names, and approached from myriad routes."

@@mely260 I'm sorry I wasted your time then. Have a good rest of your day. :)
They are a big tale... They fiction don't confuse them with reality
