connection
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.

find peace with the
apology that’s never coming…

it wouldn’t be enough,
and it doesn’t hold your healing

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

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.

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

she’s learning to stop
bleeding herself out for others.
to stop. bleeding love. for those who
only drain her.
to let it all flow back to her…
to let all that love fill her own heart.

it was just
this quiet moment of
indifference to your existence…
and that’s when i knew
that i had healed.
