to love someone is to love with your whole heart, to recognize their flaws and accept them otherwise, to realize that a person is a perplexing mixture of good and bad to love is to find compatibility between the incompatible to love is not to just admire strength but tolerate weakness there is no one that ‘deserves’ you more for real love you can give to anyone anyone willing to receive it

you
I don’t think it’s you It’s this part of me that wants to be so deeply loved, regardless of how much it hurts So that one day I could believe that I am more than enough. I want you because you make me feel wanted but it’s not the kind that you feel sure of, it’s the kind that you have to remind yourself every single ******* day that’s it’ll be here, it’ll stay if you're good enough But how much do you give to be enough? When all you’ve ever done was be there, be here, believe that it’ll always be this good But will it? When will you see that this isn’t the kind of love you want This isn’t the kind that’s underneath all the chaos, it’s what feeds all this chaos in your head It’s what makes the pounding in your head louder than it needs to be It’s the kind that feeds off what little love you have left for yourself The constant reminder that this will never last because it’s you and you don’t deserve this Or do you?

always needing a reason
you had asked me once "don't worry about it" I responded knowing well you should be worried for these lines that had contoured every inch of my arms had more to say

what are those?
Tired of feeling numb, succumbing to what was never there. Do you get tired of just having to exist in reality that is not your own? Or is it the reality you’ve created you don't like? Might it just be the motion of life continuing when you don't want to? Whatever it may be it’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to feel restless. Sleep it off Cry it off Do it for yourself No one else

tired but okay
You are here Overlooked yet you stand tall Merely existing as part of something greater Feeding off of what the sun can give What the darkness could never provide You’ve grown rings Each tell a story Of all the forces you’ve conquered But you are still In the same place you were yesterday The same place you will be tomorrow Yet you stand tall Tall as though no wind will be strong enough to unroot the foundation you have made Merely existing as part of something greater Content with spot you’ve chosen to grow You stand a lot taller

Trees
I long for your warmth even on the hottest of days Gripping onto it as it May be the only thing that can give me life You’ve given the light I’ve yet to find within myself Caressed my soul ever so gently I ask myself Is this what it’s like to be kissed by the sun?

Sunkissed
Like the wind You’ve yet to find calmness underneath the chaos Merely existing as part of something greater You see love, You’ve kept the world on its feet Overseeing the tallest of mountains Filling the spaces between the trees But Beneath it all You are nothing but A void That you have yet to fill within yourself
