departed

your fists
unclench
like flowers
as you
unhold
the morning.
the flowers
like lips
they open
and the wind
and the bees
carry your voice
in the pollen.

Advice hard to remember

Advice hard to remember

you may feel like you walk alone
on a turning unmarked path
you might feel scared and weak
in a dark dismal tunnel.
But if you walk with mind clear
You will see the turns.
But if you walk with your head up
You will see the light at the end.

I always tell myself this but never remember it when I need to

On the days you feel like quitting

On the days you feel like quitting

on the days you feel like quitting
giving up
or shutting down
remember there is more to you than pain and anxiety
you are a roaring wildfire, unstoppable to put out
you are the wild flowers that return every year, beautiful and free
you are the full moon,
in a sky full of stars,
you are even brighter

there is eternal sunshine in your soul if you remember to look for it
all this time you have had in you the strength you have always searched for

dont forget who you are

Defeat

Defeat

I am not one to admit defeat,
Call it pride
Call it persistence.
I just never gave up,
But recently that ended,
My body just stopped
My heart had died
No longer could I
Stop my own
...
Defeat

I find myself giving up on stuff more and more. Recently it has been sports and I just feel lost because of it

Every slide passes by
Showing a picture in my mind

Every image filled with shame
The body parts that I hate

All the thoughts hold me back
From all the gifts that I have

Sometimes I hate my body and not realize all the gifts I have
