i promise, once you learn to love who you are, it won’t hurt anymore…

it won’t hurt anymore

i promise,
once you learn to love
who you are,
it won’t hurt anymore…
all of this pain from the one
who didn’t love you.

you will love you, so it just
won’t matter anymore.

i have worried my heart
far too much about what i am worth
to those who were not worthy
of my heart

let yourself find peace with the apology that’s never coming…

let yourself find peace with the apology that’s never coming

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

the butterfly process…

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

there
are times

persecution complex…

simply because you stopped letting them hurt you

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

all that she once gave away…

she’s learning to stop bleeding herself out for others.

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.

indifference…

indifference to your existence

it was just
this quiet moment of
indifference to your existence…

and that’s when i knew
that i had healed.

roots…

the forgiveness i owe isn’t to you... it’s to myself. for forgetting my worth.

the forgiveness
i owe isn’t to you…
it’s to myself.
for forgetting my worth.
for letting you unearth me
from these roots.
for letting you pull me
from my truth.

we rise, we fly…

we rise we thrive and we fly

we may have
these fragile hearts,
and when we crumble,
ever do we crumble,
but unlike those who break us…

we heal
we grow
we become full
we rise
we thrive
and we fly
