The stars move
When I'm with you.

I've seen
The ocean.
Waves breaking
In your eyes.

So young
When you were thrown from your nest
Learning how to fly

It seems that after time
It was as though you were
Taking in breath.

But you'll have those setbacks
The wind and the weather
Predators
Take you
Down

Left with a broken wing
Learning once more
How to breathe

It's scary
It's sudden
And once again
New

No longer so trusting
Won't jump from the nest
The pavement's so close
Right now you can rest

One day you'll be ready
One day you can try
Again you'll be learning
It's okay to fly.

It can be hard
To rebuild yourself

To allow yourself
To fail again

To allow yourself
To feel again

To cry again
To try again
To become the person
That you've trapped inside
Your head again

It's okay
To be a work
In progress.

It's okay
To start
Again.

Healed of toxic memories
Lost things and
Missing my love

Hate comes from misplaced obsession
Anger
Anger
Angry tears

How do you
Grow as a
Person when you've
Grown so
Tired of           yourself.

And I dreamt

peace came to me

in the form of

sobs and shakes.
