sometimes i surprise
even myself –
with the amount of pain
i'm willing to endure
just to be with you.

sometimes
the best thing we can do
for the people we love,
is to let ourselves
be loved by them
without question.

I finally feel
like I'm me again
I haven't felt this good
Since I don't know when
My heart is not heavy
my mind is not spinning
My soul is uplifted
my life rebeginning
My future looks brighter
The path is made clear
My family is closer
My friends are more dear
I’ve learned many lessons
That got me to this place
But the greatest of all
Is to give myself grace

some love are habits
you try your best to unlearn —
you try your hardest to break away from them
but they end up breaking you in return.

but I am old enough now
to have my fears comfort me;
and have the things I love
chain me in fear -
