Thank you. You’ve been through so much already in life, and while it is terrible to experience such pain and heartbreak, please believe me when I say, it wasn’t for nothing.

Happy to
In all my life, I’ve never known such freedoms. The freedom to laugh To cry Sometimes both. The freedom to relax To live At the same time. The freedom to exist To smile And be happy doing it.
Future
I wonder how it feels How it looks How it sounds How it tastes. Will our mornings be slow and happy Our nights, warm and comforting I wonder, dear Future, what does life have in store for me?
Trigger
Everything has changed Yet, almost nothing at all. The rooms are quieter, calmer and relaxed There is space to breathe a full breath. I can close my eyes and let my shoulders drop.

Fast car
Windows down, in the passenger seat, The warm city wind rushing over my skin Eyes close to soak in the feeling. Looking up at the night sky, the street lights and cars took place of the stars Speeding too fast, your eyes on me as you leaned over “Kiss me.”

That light pulled me to the surface Opened my eyes and letContinue reading “Leading the way”

The carousel
In the quiet spaces between breaths, I hear a symphony of chaos The sentences overlap, jumbling together like an uncoordinated dance My mind is never quiet Always running, stuck in a roundabout, never quite knowing which turn to take Sometimes panic tells me to keep on the carousel “You won’t make it.” “What if it’sContinue reading “The carousel”
…but he’s never hit me: pt. 2
A Facebook friend request, sent at 18years old, has still never been accepted after 10 years. But a message was received, that said, “I can’t accept your friend request. Is this some sort of trap?” I said, “no, you just popped up on my people you may know, and I just did it. I didn’tContinue reading “…but he’s never hit me: pt. 2”
