just a little…

i can get a little reckless when my heart is restless - butterflies rising

and maybe,
sometimes i back up
just a little,
just to breathe…
to steady in me.
and maybe, sometimes,
my fingers will untangle
just a little,
just to feel…
how to be mine, all mine.
and maybe,
i can get a little reckless
when my heart is restless,
but it’s still always yours,
all yours.

wanting to know the shape of you, without having to lose my own…

how to take you in, but keep me too

i’m here… wanting
to know the shape of you,
without having to lose my own.
but just not yet knowing how…

how to take you in, but keep me too.

how to breathe love and
wholeness all at once.

self-sovereignty…

become a more beautiful, whole, confident version of you

don’t look for your
peace in getting back at them,
or trying to make them see your worth
and what they lost in you…

go more into yourself.
become a more beautiful, whole,
confident version of you…
one that doesn’t need anything
from them to feel free.
