Thinking... "I should say I'm sorry"
Then saying nothing.
Because I'm not sorry.

Girl power.

What if I allow myself,
to be myself,
while still being happy?

What if I stop
being the bully,
and become cheerleader full time?

What happens when I just trust myself
as a default?

Well then I guess,
I'd be free.

Roadblocks? Move em.

Also title is a quote from Taking Back Control by Sparta.

Gut Check

Aim to be the person
you dreamed you'd be as a child
in spite of the world crushing your dreams.

ABCDEFG

It's not that music defines me,
It just helps me explain to myself how I feel.

Then I can understand and do something about it.

Brother

I love you,
despite the many failures
The true and perceived.
I want to hear about it all
be here through it all.
I wish you'd respond.
I hope you know you're worth more than you're giving yourself.
This doesn't have to be the final chapter.

To Put This Gracefully

I could never own a gun,
I'm too much of a risk for that.

When trying to explain why I can't own a gun to a friend without turning the conversation drastically darker while remaining honest.

Though disclaimer, I am okay. But if you are not, please seek help. You will be okay. I'm a survivor without regret of living.

Damaged Goods

I keep pen to paper
As if these words will heal me

I keep lips together
As if no words will save me.
