if you feel unsatisfied
with who (you) are,
destroy the bits
you don't like in yourself,
(will) yourself to keep fighting,
because there is (always)
a chance to make things better
instead of completely destroying
who you could (be)

"(good) things come
to those who wait,"
but sometimes time is
not (enough) to cure the
overwhelming aching feeling
that keeps you in bed
on sunny days

you have to fight to be alright
it may not be easy,
but it's worth it

so look at all of the weight the world holds
that's waiting for its chance to crush you,
and say "today, i am going to be okay."

his heart was full of depth,
but he chose to let it hide
and masked his pain with pills
and smokes and jokes and lies

my heart
was in chains
my eyelids
heavy
my knees
weak

but You painted
my soul
with grace

You took my
burdens
and draped them
upon Yourself,
spread Your arms
wide
and said
"i love you
this much"

You took my pain
You immersed me
in love
You continue
to guard my path

You
have set
me free

some things
like rain in april
and popsicles on
the fourth of july,
are meant to be

i hope the same goes
for you and me

you
it's a beautiful day today

my favorite weather
is when the sun
tenderly kisses my cheeks
and freckled shoulders

i see kids carelessly riding their bikes
and wind breezing
through the branches of tall trees
and i think of you

i think of how it would be
to lay in the middle of a soft green field
with our arms touching
and your hand holding mine

i wonder what animal you'd say
the clouds look like
and if you'd pick a flower
to place behind my ear
and look into my eyes
to tell me i'm more breathtaking
than any daisy
that has ever been quenched by summer rain

i think about you a lot,
and i know today
would be even more beautiful
with you by my side

who are you,
really?

you are not a name
or a height, or a weight
or a gender
you are not an age
and you are not where you
are from

you are your favorite books
and the songs stuck in your head
you are your thoughts
and what you eat for breakfast
on saturday mornings

you are a thousand things
but everyone chooses
to see the million things
you are not

you are not
where you are from
you are
where you're going
and i'd like
to go there
too

i'm a scared little girl
with a low self esteem,
but i know You're there
standing right beside me

help me conquer
my countless fears
and allow You to wipe
my worry-filled tears

because holding on
to all my burdens
is such a heavy load

i know i need You,
i know i need
to just let go

i'm told that heaven
is a city made of gold
with pearly gates
and brilliant light,
but i couldn't care less
if it's crystal clear
or blanketed with fog

i just hope
heaven is a place
where i can kiss your soul,
capture a clip
of that radiant smile
and play it back in the sky
forever

when i asked you
why you're so sweet
and you replied

"because i like your smile,
you wear it so well
and if i can help with you smiling
then the world is a better place"

you stole the air from my lungs
in a pure and tragic manner

because one,
nobody
has ever been
so genuinely kind to me
i wish i could make you feel
as special as you make
me feel

and two,
i instantly thought
of my future
and it hurt my heart
because i'm almost certain
you won't be there

there's something
entrancing about you,
i hear melodies like honey
when you enter my mind

you make me smile
even when
the rain is falling
and i think i could
make you happy, too

the two of us together
could be as beautiful as
the setting sun

but of course
the wicked reality is
we'll never get
the chance

sometimes,
i get this weird sensation
where it feels like
i've known you forever

i miss you
even though
i've never had you
by my side

and i have these
pretend memories
of us together

they all seem so real,
even though
i know they're not

but hopefully
they will be,
one day

i can't tell you
all the things
i want to say

because telling you
how i feel
wouldn't be fair

i just wish
keeping it inside
didn't hurt so much

Madisen Kuhn
no matter what i do,
i will never be good enough
for you

people tell me not to care,
that i just need to be tough,
but that isn't fair

because how do you stop caring?
it's not like pain
is a switch i can just turn off

you keep hurting me
and i need to learn that
maybe without you, i'm better off
