healing
the heavy just
became unbearable the
more she realized she was carrying
so much that was never even hers to hold.
so she exhaled every version of herself
that she had taken on for someone else,
and then… like a butterfly,
her wings unfolded.

i hope
you can hear this…
when your soul is suffocating
from all the things you just. can’t. say.
as they chew at your chest,
and you ache and crumble
until you become nothing
but mess and madness
gutted. on the floor.
and in the dark. and it’s so. dark.
that even the moon hides and the stars
go quiet and anything that ever
sounded like a way out just. goes. quiet.
i hope you hear this… it’s been so. damn. hard.
but you’ve been so brave.

dear broken people…
please stop disturbing people
who are working on themselves
and starting to heal
if you’re just going there to break
them again or to try to make them do
your work for you too

she’s not coming back.
a 4-word story for the boy
who mistakenly thought she’d never
realize her worth and walk away

if it needs you small, don’t let it hold you anymore.
don’t let anything that needs you ordinary
tame you ever again.

this love
comes sweetly
this gentle awakening
like warmth on your skin
and a breath on your neck
let it say so softly…
you are more than enough.
