What It's About

It’s not just to be loved,
It’s to be loved for who you really are —
To be seen at the deepest level.
When they bring to light part of you…that even you couldn’t look at
And say this, this is just part of what makes you beautiful

I'm Not A Burden

I no longer want to bleed onto the page to hide behind it,

I want to hold it up,

Show it to others and say "look at this, look at me."

I no longer want to hide my heavy out of fear

Healing

You can not free your mind if you are afraid of where it will wander

& I Am Grateful

I am so exposed to you,
I love it,
And I hate it sometimes too,
The way you know
The darkest parts of me
And yet bathe me in light.
I worry that one day
You’ll decide
That the rest of the world
Should know who I really am,
And that I’m not worthy of the rays.
I grow stronger
Because you empower me
To see that I can
With or without you,
And I try and I fail and I try
And I frustrate me
Because I,
I want to be better
But the progress is slow
And the challenges are non stop
And I know,
That it is not on you
To carry me, 

To show me, 

To help me heal,

But you do 

Keep Them Safe

If I could have one wish come true,

It would be that everyone in the world

Would feel safe

And actually be safe,

In the comfort of whomever has the best of intentions as their first priority

Excerpt

It’s even beautiful,
The spaces between me and you
Saying how we feel, the silence,

Because even silence with you is beautiful,
Beautiful as bare feet
On a dark wood floor was,
When I woke up,
To see that you loved me

Time

Only time holds the answers to any of our questions.

And I, always have questions.
