if our love is a ship
then we are two lovers
lost at sea
bound to sink
in our own demise

i wish to give
you everything
without waiting
to receive something
more

i checked
under the bed
under the cushions
under the rug
under the vase i
gave you last christmas
i checked under
the nightstand
and even in the very
sheets we share
but i have yet to
find love
in this very place
we call

sometimes it truly feels as if all the emotional pain inside you, is trying to claw its way out; all the while of eating away at your skin and bones and poking holes in your heart. it'll drive you mad. it'll weigh you down. it'll feel impossible to heal. it'll make you think you need to feel external pain in order to relieve it, but don't let it trick you into doing that. everything you could ever need to fight against the pain and heartache resides in your soul. it's your core. it's what holds your body, your mind, and your heart together. it holds your passions and interests and preferences. you are you for a reason. think of everyone's different passions and such, as their personal weapons. almost as if the universe knew exactly what each person needed to fight against all the evils and heartache. your soul is your toolbox. your weapon forging lab. you have your heart that keeps you alive. you have your mind that processes words and reason. you have your body that holds those elements. but most importantly, you have your soul holding your emotions and your moral compass. never forget that.
this is not a poem. this is a letter to all of you. // emotional pain is never easy, no one should ever have to go through such extreme amounts of it that they feel as if the only way to relieve it-- to heal from it, is to feel physical pain. // i see you. i notice you. you are not invisible and you are certainly not alone. each one of you are strung intricately beautiful. each one of you are packed with the necessities you need to fight against the things that are causing you pain. everything you need, resides in your soul. remember that.

we are electric charges
pushing and pulling
back and forth
back and forth
back and forth
traveling through
the endless current
of love and hate
we are two charges, trying to meet in this swirl of energy.

you were my father
and i was your daughter
until i told you i fell in love
with her
until i told you i despised
the meanings of gender
until i told you i was not
a replica of you
until i blurred that picture perfect
image of the person
you wished me to be
you promised to love
me without conditions
until you realized the
only thing you could do
was love me with conditions

i was your bird
that refused to
leave its cage
i was your bird
that refused to
fly away
even with the
door wide open.
i stayed with you after every opportunity to leave you
