There are things in life
That seem so frightening—
Yet, as time goes by,
They reveal themselves
To be so simple
That I wonder
Why I didn’t start sooner.

Don’t be afraid
To become too big
For your old life.

People think i’m sensitive
They don’t know my battles
They don’t know what i’ve been through and what i’ve emerged from
They don’t know how strong I am
If I’m sensitive
Then being sensitive is the strongest of all

I chose you—
different from before.
Not to be saved,
but because in you
I find freedom.

You asked me:
if every card,
every oracle,
God,
every sign
pointed to you—
and my heart
pointed to you—

would I have the courage
to send you the red heart?

Yes.
I have the courage.

No matter what they say,
don’t stop.

It might be madness,
it might be painful,
but just keep swimming,
just keep swimming.

Sometimes
you have to go—
take that step,
despite the fear,
despite the uncertainty,
and discover
that in the end,
we always survive
to tell the story.

Not the others
To hell with the others
I want the courage and bravery
of those who said “**** it”
and went to live
I want to live
“Please, let me live,” my soul screams
And I think the most painful part
is realizing it’s all up to me

I’m ashamed to show myself
What will people think?
I’ve lived my whole life in the church
They’ll cast me out
And me?
Will I stop
loving myself?

You need to let go
So what if people judge you?
As my friend said,
you need to start living
But how
do I do that?
