I need to learn to compartmentalize
Because I still sssociate you wish lies.
But soon you will be nothing in my eyes
You will no longer make me cry.

Forgive.
Even if they don’t deserve it. Let it go. Take a breath. They don’t matter anymore.

Simple honesty,
Consistent transparency,
That is what you give me.
Everything happening so organically.

Just leave behind any words you heard that weren’t kind. Learn to greet your enemy with a smile, It will only hurt for just a while.

I wonder if you see me as fragile or strong. I wonder if you think that I’ll break your arms. are you careful with my heart , are you afraid that I will fall apart?

Or I wonder if you know that I am strong, despite the fact that I have been wronged? Do you know that I have strength  despite the fact we both know I can break.

I wonder what you know.

I wonder how many times
I can rip my heart out of my chest
Or heave it through my mouth
(I wonder which method hurts less?
Neither seem to make much sense)
To offer it to someone else
Before my heart strings snap one final time
And I’m on my own, and dying.

Love yourself,
And Stop crying.

I don’t want you to learn what I am trying to learn to be an untruth:
That enduring through pain is somehow worth it at the chance of reciprocated love.


Please remember:
You are always enough.
