Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

So I've been seeing some other kaylors discussing this book "For now, she slumbers" and I was skeptical that Taylor could’ve written it until someone was kind enough to send me screenshots of all the poems in this book and now I’m convinced it’s her. All the poems match up perfectly w the anon messages we’ve been getting and some sentences and phrases are verbatim what the anon messages said. I just made a post abt how the stuffed monkey along w the eras tour circus imagery likely connects to this poem. “Dance monkey dance.” I think the stuffed monkey might be specifically for this korner of the internet that’s been keeping up w all the anon messages and truly see her and see the whole story. I think it might be a signal to us that we’re not crazy and are on the right track

you see:
i'm in love
with the world
and its people;
i cannot stand to see
the suffering inflicted,
only to be overlooked.
it should never
have been this way.
through changing myself,
i will make the first step
towards changing
the world.
"enlightenment."
d.b.a

what was to be expected, the fraud on the frontlines, the cricket in the shadow of the priceless violin she’ll let you know when she’s done with her symphony, come pesticides or tire treads he’ll let you know when he’s done listening to propaganda, come a wrong turn or a tornado warning

Let me tell you a secret —I wasn't supposed to make it.
Many nights I didn't, the orange hues held on to me like
a mother right before I chose to never look back.
F. S. Yousaf - excerpt from Renaissance

I used to be alone, all by myself, i lay under the vast heavens above I’ve tried it all, I wished on many a star, dreamt dreams of eternal love I used to be so broken, self aware, i’ve explored every crack in my soul I wondered if I would ever love or feel loved, I wondered if I would ever feel whole Then you came along, You whispered those words, words that made everything change You smiled and you laughed and in that moment i knew that i would never feel hurt again And i know that you're some kind of special, a magical soul, the kind that i never knew was real I had given up hope, surrendered to fate, but then you taught me how to feel So here i stand, heart beating too fast, completely weak in the knees I’m a fool, whispering into the winds, and blowing kisses into the breeze Oh i love you more than anything, like i never thought i could love someone Oh i love you like the stars love the moon, I love you like the earth loves the sun

to be.
Oh to be the lover he holds in his eyes,
To be the one who when he sets eyes on, the world around him fades,
To be the one for who his eyes gleam with pride,
To be the one for who his eyes soften with relief, when he knows she's there for him,
To be the one who sets off the sparkle of dreams of family his eyes
To be the one his arms envelop perfectly as if a puzzle's destined piece,
To be the one his lips automatically curl for
To be the one who he can rest his worries on
To be the one, the one, the one, he loves.
Oh to be the lover in his eyes, what would I not give?
I would give my sleepless nights just to catch a glimpse of him when my eyes shut.
I would give my dark mornings, to become the sunshine when he wants a sunrise.
I would give my empty hands, to hold all his insecurities in.
I would give my shadow to protect his.
I would give my dreams to him, if he makes them his.
I would give him my traditions, as he wishes.
I would give him my peace, just so he can have his.
I would give him my love to shelter him on rainy nights.
I would give myself to him, even if his eyes hold someone else.
