a supporting character in your story…
she has her own entire story
to live too.

i am willing to grow… this is my agreement with myself…
the first step in
setting yourself free…
i am willing to grow.
This is my agreement with myself. In all of the places and circumstances and situations in my life where I feel stuck, to be willing to grow. To be willing to listen to what something is showing to me or asking from me. To understand that even though I may not have control over things happening around me, or even always to me, I am still always responsible for my own energy within those experiences. And I can still always look for movement and change within my own space that I hold. And that’s where my freedom will come from. So, instead of fighting against the things outside of me that may make me feel like I’m stuck, being open to where I can grow, to grow out of them.

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.

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.

where you’ll find love…
what you go to just
because you’re lonely isn’t love,
what you’re drawn to when you’re
in your light…
that’s where you’ll find love

i can’t say them.
i can’t say those three words.
i can’t say it in three words…
i can’t speak these things small.
i don’t feel these things ordinary.
and i can’t look at you and feel. these. things.
and fit them into predetermined patterns
and pre-ordered packages,
or practice how to speak them
in a rented ballroom,
or repeat them as a morning habit…
these are star things, and soul things,
and all of my everything, things…
so when you say…
do you, will you?
i do, and i will…
but out here where it’s wild,
and up here where it’s infinite,
and in me where i feel you,
where i’ve always. felt. you…
even before this. and where i’ll feel you
after this, and beyond this…
so what i can’t say means nothing.
and it means everything.
and what i mean when i say to you…
burn out the stars with me
…that’s my way of asking for your forevers.
