There was a tree at the park
with no leaves or spark.
Plain and dry;
you couldn't see life.
But he was still there,
standing proudly and fierce.
He didn't give up
and decided to remain,
because Winter doesn't last forever
and Spring was coming to
bring back his beautiful essence.
There was a time where I thought very little of me. I judjed myself whenever my reflection appeared on a mirror and, through my eyes, I was the worst. But I started to try and love myself and embrace everything I thought was ugly or wrong. People may see us different and tell us things we don't like, but we can use those words to be stronger and love ourselves more.

You
I was broken
but then you appeared.
You didn't fix me,
but helped me understand
the true value my life has.

I'd like to be alone,
but I don't want to be lonely.

I'd like to be in hope,
but I don't want to be hopeless.

I'd like to be in love,
but I don't want to be broken.

I'd like to be sad,
but I don't want to be weak.
For when I'd like to be 'me', but I don't want to be 'her'.

You

Are
My
Phantom
Pain

My
Missing

The
Piece
I
Just
Can’t
Find

The
Friend
I
Lost
Along
The
Way

One
Day
There

As
Dear
As
Ever

Unt­il
The
Call
Took
You

Suddenly
Quickly
Spirited
Away

Put
Your
Beautiful
Soul

Into

A

Five-sided granite box

With
Windows
Going
Nowhere

So
Everyone
Can
Watch

The
Politics
****
You

Fast
As
****

Slow
As
Creeping­
Wood
Rot

I
Mourn

The
Loss

Of
Another
Good
Friend
