I wish I can just walk on air
With flare, truly unaware, as they stare
Just one moment to declare, confirm your welfare
To stand in power pose as an extraordinaire

is life just a cycle of looking down at your feet and realizing that you really need to clip your toenails, but deciding that you’ll do it later because you can’t be bothered in that moment, and then 6 days pass, and you still haven’t clipped your toenails. and then after 2 weeks, you finally pick up the nail clipper and do what you said you would 14 days ago. a moment of relief. and then you go upstairs and look at your laundry pile and decide you’ll tackle that later.

sometimes self care is
polysporin and bandages
tending to the wounds
of your own self destruction

these private moments are the ones i appreciate the most,
midnight vanilla and flickering flames,
cross-legged on my bed with sugar on my tongue,
music playing,
keys clicking.

these private moments are the ones i appreciate the most,
stolen in between the waking hours,
my own personal party just before the dawn.

Remember there's good
Remember there's bad
Remember love is undying
Remember hate can last forever
Remember scars are rememberance
Remember I will always love you
Remember I will always hate you
Remember there's a light that never goes out
Remember the dark isn't easy to escape
Remember you are not alone
Remember I always feel alone
Remember faith gets you through tough times
Remember I wish I could believe in something real
Remember I will never desert you
Remember you are the fire
Remember you are strong
Remember you can break through the struggle
Remember you are more than you give yourself credit for
Remember you are loved...
