Awaken,
the light of dawn emanates between
black curtains.

Listen,
birds are singing a welcoming to
the coming sun.

Stretch,
so long my body melts
off the edges of my bed.
From my fingers to my toes,
I feel infinite.

Rise,
to a freshly brewed coffee.
The smell recharging me
before my cup reaches my lips.

Open,
the window,
feel that breeze,
calling me to join.

Bask,
in the approach of a new day.
Together.

The warmth of it all will heat my soul.

Can you hear them?
They whisper,
you don’t deserve it, run, you’ll never deserve it

Or are they just in my head?
you’re going to f••• this up, run now, don’t let him catch you

You must hear them too.
Please.
Please tell me you hear them.
he only wants you because he doesn’t know you, run, before it’s too late

Or are they just in my head?
push him away, build the barricade, run, run faster than ever before, he doesn’t want you, he could never want you.

unintended act
separating me from it
try to save myself

One new day.
That’s all it takes.

One glance,
one single sentence
can lead to conversations
lasting hours.

Stranger
no longer.

A fleeting moment captured,
transforms into a routine.

One day.
That’s all it takes.
