Cinephile

Every movie I
watch over again is the
Love I didn't get

I miss the dad I grew up with.

lucky me

Lucky, lucky me
self fulfilling prophecy

fear looks good on me

How do I look?

     Well,



  I'm here anyway.

void

Everyone deserves to say
I should not have been treated that way
And feel free to refill that space
To be soft to what remains
Until they know they're safe
Or else nothing can change

We need to listen if we want to be heard.

and I'll do it again

I give it away
like it was free - even though
it means everything

I never lost anything. I gave it all away.

all of us

Still, if I was worse
wouldn't change what I deserve.
Lessons need not hurt.

I've been thinking about the worst case scenario

Adaptable

How easy it was,
anywhere was home to me.

But, it had to be.

I've been thinking about what makes a home lately.

Bruises

Risk flirts with defeat
Beaten doesn't mean you're beat
Some plans trust retreat

My hope includes the worst case scenario.
