I Worry because
My reflection
Is a woman I find weak
Some say worry is a mental wobbling
The hesitation before making a choice

How can I let this happen
Watch
As my Worry lives my life without me

i am more love than doubt
a reality i have never known
something wonderful has shifted
led me to this moment
to this garden
i am free because i am me
nothing more
nothing less
my own eyes giving me life

your beauty is beyond skin and bones
look into my eyes as i search within yours
are we less hidden each new time?
are there ways to hide even when you want only
to be seen?
and be seen by you...
ive lived my life
back turned on my own home
i surely belonged to someone....
frantic, hungry, cold
making "home" any door that would open

theres enough time left to never go back
to cherish the home ive made myself
the one where my heart has taken root
grown taller than i ever even looked
neck cranked towards the sun
no matter where i am
or who is around me
i will never be lost
i am home

my home is me

my heart is full this new years eve
aware
at any moment
my heart can be ripped to pieces
this ticking bomb
no longer looms in my shadow
time
has stolen pieces of my soul
left me bare
to question my own identity
despite the cruel nature of the clock
I accept and thank you
for your ruthless love

It is love that moves time forward

I am damaged
Self-inflicted wounds
And right now, that is all I ever will be
There is no point in pretending I'm not broken
Half Shame
Gabrielle Nov 2018
There's a little fire that started just days ago
when my future unraveled from stone
choice morphed into a breathing body of possibility
its breath bringing me a smile I have never known
reflection invigorating me
instead of giving more confusion
I know who I am
the most beautiful words
I love her
always

days melt to weeks
monotonous conformity
I thought this was living
breathe in
today I heard my dreams
scream louder than my logic
breathe out
one body & mind
one arrow of time
everything will be just fine
Gabrielle Oct 2018
never would have thought your birthday could be this painful
years have passed me by and im still here
face turned back towards the past
some days it seems like looking back is the only way I can keep breathing
you existed and then you stopped
every day since has unfolded in slow motion
scared to move past what my mind replays
scared to move at all
heat escaped
from your arm to mine
and as the temperature of your body
steadily declined
so did the light in my mind
