Little girl, young and afraid
The world on your shoulders will be heavily weighed
People will be cruel and life unjust
They will teach you to grow up with deceit and distrust
But little girl, listen carefully to me
There is so much more out there if you make it to be
Happiness is a choice and love is something you share
Do not let them take away your ability to care
So little girl, young and afraid
Be brave
Become kindness instead

Be the change that you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

Writing Process

I write to rid
of the feelings
that drag at my soul

The once all-consuming thought of you
is now nothing but a rare interruption
and of the spaces you used to fill out
I've made plans for a renovation

Hands

I did not ask to be held together
Nor to be pulled through the dark
I only hoped to be warm for a moment
To linger a while longer in your heart

It begins with a simple 'Hi', a smile, a single look
For a fleeting moment, yeah, that's all it took
Your whole life wondering what is what, where is where
And suddenly you just knew, everything's there

Found this in between the pages of my micro notes :)

Space

You were an asteriod
and I a lonely planet
And for a brief while
gravity pulled us together
But
just
before
collision
You stopped falling

'I'm afraid of being happy', was the last thing he said

leave

If you're not going to stay
Might as well not start at all
While my heart is still unmarked
While my soul is still whole

Leave now
While I still have a grip on the pieces of me that want to go with you

Leave now
While I'm still capable of knowing that nobody survives a fall

Leave now
Because another second more
Is already too many seconds longer
And I am too vulnerable to fight this

There is no in between
