“Stella
Life is like a patchwork quilt of disappointments.
You hide behind the thin veneer of your face, and words;
Pushing down everything you have lost, and can’t return too,
until eventually you are laughing again.
And the sorrow fades in the resonance of that sound,
so you can almost pretend it isn’t there at all,
weighing on your fragile heart.”
“Stella,
You will put in all your effort to carry your broken self across the finish line
just to find that you did not end up where you thought or where you wanted;
in your life there will be infinite times when plans and hope are your only beacon,
and you will watch them fade,
until the only thing left to do is let go,
which is half a choice and half a practicality;
Life wrenches you from the jaws of regret; or frees you just enough so you can keep moving forward,
lugging behind you the regret that you are too ashamed to release,
carrying it so long it becomes just another thing that ripples
each time your heart beats.”
“Stella,
One day you will look back,
And realize you are older
And there are many milestones you will never get to relive;
And all the things you have made yourself into
you have now become”
“Stella
Some things make the pit in your stomach grow so big,
it could consume your feeble attempt at a life in one gulp;
The jaws of defeat will unhinge before you; like a snake
And you will have to jump”
"Stella
Spirit is somewhere
crying for how hard it is; all that you have gone through alone, —
Without even yourself to help you through it
It was not meant to be this way
Remember that life is nothing more than a journey from laugh to laugh
Through this cold and distant substance white men taught us to call time,
But we know it's really just the weaving together of stories
We know that it does not stay put
even when we wish it would, for the sake of the white men
and the world they have made for us to live in"
"Stella,
Never forget that their is also the word they have kept us from living
and it waits for us"
"Stella
In this life
we lose everything we think we possibly can;
And then one day, we wake up, and lose more.
And there is no path away from the carnage
Forgive the sorrow for all it has taken from you
Embrace the boundlessness you hold
summon up your courage,
one more time
Soon, you will learn that one more time
is just another way to say forever"
