you are allowed to be lovely
and important,
to speak up, and out, and convicted

sometimes,
love people easy
like fine, light rain

but with breathing room
and growing space
asking for nothing
but the glow in their skin

they didn’t take pieces of you…
don’t give the people who hurt you that power
they broke loose, and dislodged,
and extracted pieces of you
that could just no longer stay part of you
and who you’re becoming
so as you’re letting those people go,
be willing to let those pieces go too
…let a new version of you
be uncovered

maybe
it tangles with chaos
and loses hold of safe and sane…
but that kind of love will be like wildfire.

will feel like wildfire.
and your heart…

and it may be heavy on your soul when it breaks you,
but only because you burned so deep for it.
maybe it’s brutal when you have to let it
fall from your hands,
but god, how beautiful it feels
while you’re holding it.

i’ve learned to
be gentle with that part of
me that takes it in so deeply
and holds on to it for far too long,
that’s also the part of me that loves
like an awakening and knows what it’s like
to trace a soul in my fingertips

at yourself,
and you’ll see in you
all these things
your soul is made of,
and you will
be home
