to avoid loneliness with another
and try to call it love.

Lost And Found…
first, i got lost
in his eyes, and in his words,
and in his arms holding me…
then i got lost in all the lies he told,
and i was just… lost.
but then i looked myself
in the eyes, and i started to find my voice,
and i learned to hold myself up,
and i began searching for my truth,
and now… i’m finding my way,
and i’m finding myself.

they all love at such exhausting extremes… inhale love fully, and let it breathe…
they all love
at such exhausting extremes,
suffocated or uninvested,
missing the place in between,
where love is trusted
but breathes
…inhale it fully, let it breathe

we cannot
carry another
on their own way…
in soul searching,
we must all find
our own legs beneath us,
our own voice inside of us,
and our own
light to guide us.

Freedom of religion
honors your freedom to your religion,
but it also honors…
the freedom from your religion,
the freedom to practice other religions,
the freedom of spirituality that isn’t
found through or bound by religion,
and the freedom from any religion at all.
It’s the freedom to believe what
resonates as truth for you and brings
peace to your soul.
