I rise

That last interaction wasnt quite what i asked for
Not sure how she feels or why I said that to her
That one thing we all seek
I try to give freely
My body screams i see you
Do you see me?

I rise

My heart stings from the things i cant do
The ones that I loved and couldnt hold onto
The paths that i saw and chose not to pursue
The vague nameless shadow that clouds my view

I rise, I rise

I still see, im still seen
My heart still beats
I know my love language
I speak it with me
There are still secrets I frantically seek
Knowledge is the spark that catches me
Depression is no match for connections and facts
The key to my heart is curiosity

I rise

from my bed,
with mewling kittens in my head.
I take my jam with wholemeal bread.
Eager for the day ahead.
Short poem about how my morning started!
