I kept my dreams in my back pocket
and tattooed my heart on my wrist,
so when broken it could be easily kissed.

I kept my fears below my feet
and my hopes on my shoulders,
so when the world weighed down
I could remove the heavy boulder.

I kept his love in my hips
and her strength in my eyes,
and that is why they’re both so wide.

I hid insecurities in my hollow bones
and scratched loneliness off my skin,
so my outsides reflected the beauty within.
