waiting for
the day
where my
vulnerability
feels
like a
strength
instead of a
weakness

we're all broken.
some, just bent.
some of us, we're picking up the pieces..
some with help from another..
some alone.

some barrel forward
hoping the demons
won't catch up.

this used to be about
outrunning
my demons..

you've helped me
see what they really are
& their intentions with me.

i've come
face-to-face
with them..

now this is about
slaying them.

Dear Lady Moon,

I can feel your pearly white gaze,
It fills me with inner warmth

Your imperfections; your craters
They make you unlike any other

I find myself looking up at you quite often these days
I think she’s been watching over me with her midnight rays

She comes to visit me at night
With her moonbeams bright

Her light of comfort puts me in a starlight daze

I see her and she sees me
Her light shines gleefully

My protector; the watcher
I’m thankful for
my night time stalker

i am so scared
you won't like how i've changed

I only see
my worth
through the eyes
of men

Get me out of this timeline
The trap I’m in
The back and forth and restlessness
I hate it here and I hate who it makes me into

Only time passed
Spans the distance between us

Pull it in
and zip it up,
Balancing steadily

A practiced act
