I don't know if it makes sense,
                       but I'll feel it anyway.
Find trust inside myself,
                       hear what I've had to say.
Something inside me has always known,
                       when the grounds are due to shake, when the tide begins to grow.
I beg myself at my own feet,
                        Forgive Me! now knowing why she pushed retreat.
After all this time I can start to see,
                       I was always looking out for me.
And my hands, shaking but sure
               look squeaky clean.
And I'm willing to bet,
               that they always were.
I did everything I could.
I'll do everything I can.

They cannot stop you
Or they would have already
Still, they will try.
Will you?
The fact they're after you means you're doing something right. Hang tough and stick to your guns. This is when it will count.

I will take this moment
Clutch it between my teeth
Bite down into its seams
And even though
The burn is bittersweet
Nothing else
Will ever matter more to me
Than loving this moment,
This life,
As violently as I need
The hunter, forever searching for meaning.

Every movie I
watch over again is the
Love I didn't get
I miss the dad I grew up with.

Lucky, lucky me
                                  self fulfilling prophecy

                     fear looks good on me
How do I look?


     Well,  
                                


                    
  I'm here anyway.

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.
Mariah Jul 17
I give it away
like it was free - even though
it means everything
I never lost anything. I gave it all away.
