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

directions…

a southern girl with a gypsy soul

Directions…

a southern girl
with a gypsy soul, she took
a journey west to help her grow,
and then she chased the eastern sun
to give her faith,
and she let the northern lights
guide her way
…home.

when the hurt became too much…

i had to chew you out of my heart when the hurt became too much

the way i used to bite down into your chest when it got to be a little too much… that’s how i had to chew you out of my heart when the hurt became too much.
