Some love
Will be given
And not reciprocated;
This is the hardest,
Most important love
To give.

okay
I thought you’d be able
To see it on my face,
To hear it on my voice,
To understand the
Words unspoken,
Yet confessed
By the original language,
To spare me the courage
I lost from these days
To speak up and say
That I am not okay.
opening up
Sometimes
When you look at the lives of others
You just can’t seem
To find the cracks;
What a suffocating way
That must be
For them
To live.

May not be
Pretty,
Or painless,
Or quick,
But it is

Ancient oceans
Run through my body,
And I have just as much right
To take up this space,
So I can’t understand
Why I feel so out of place.

Your burdens
Become lighter
When you stop
Letting the negatives
Weigh you down,
And embrace
The strength
That struggles
Bring.

How many times
Must we be broken down
Then told
We are not enough?
flawless
Her humble
Beauty hiding
Behind her
Flawless facade
Fools foolishly
Tried to climb
Over walls well built,
And found themselves falling
Men left lamenting
If it was her
Or the facade
They couldn’t get over.
perspective
Humans have
A tremendous ability
To adjust–
Walk away,
See all the ways
You are bending,
And be sure
You don’t break.
