i don’t know why it is, but…
you feel like home,
and everywhere i’ve never been,
all at once.
it doesn’t make sense…
or maybe it does?
maybe love is the safest place you could ever be,
and every new and undiscovered place
you have yet to go,
all at the same time.
yeah…
i think that’s perfectly how it’s
supposed to feel.

i am allowed to have my own worth.
to find my value in who i am.
not in who i am to a man.
not in who i am to whom i support, or serve,
or take care of, or carry weight for.
not who i am in the context of
anyone else’s story.
just who i am, as i am…
bare, alone, unburdened, beautiful, and worthy.

Lost And Found…
first, i got lost
in his eyes, and in his words,
and in his arms holding me…
then i got lost in all the lies he told,
and i was just… lost.
but then i looked myself
in the eyes, and i started to find my voice,
and i learned to hold myself up,
and i began searching for my truth,
and now… i’m finding my way,
and i’m finding myself.

let yourself
find peace with the
apology that’s never coming…
even if it came,
it wouldn’t be enough,
and it doesn’t hold your healing

sometimes the universe will
remove or withhold, not to hurt you,
but to free you or save you from
what doesn’t lead you home

hold on…
these things that tear
your soul apart will someday
be no more than a faded memory
with no hold on you

we honor the
people around us by taking
responsibility for our own energy,
we honor ourselves
by choosing to have people around us
who are willing to do the same.

there
are times
that my faith
gets weary
from the
aching in my back
where my wings have
yet to grow

some people are
convinced they’ve been
hurt by you simply because you’ve
stopped letting them hurt you
