be brave. be brave enough to let go of the things that hold you down. be brave enough to be heard. to speak of the fears that left you gasping and grasping for something to hold onto.

i hope you never get tired
of yourself,
of loving yourself.

i hope one day, i
could say that
i was right in
choosing to leave

i never told you
that you
were the tomorrow
i have always
wished for

your heart is more than just someone else’s home. it is yours too.

some truths are harder to swallow.

i was so used
to this,
to me reminding myself
that i shouldn’t say too much

i. let love
and kindness
soften the edges
of your broken
pieces.

and my body shakes
from when my heart
couldn’t help
but call out to you.

and what i’m asking
is for you to
love me

i could only wish that the
corners of my room could keep
all my secrets and that the walls
wouldn’t shake from the weight

iv. breathe. take long, deep breaths. fill your lungs with life. breathe, even if you feel like it would rip your insides apart.
