She gives herself permission to have
Days of doubt
Grieve in silence
Just lay around

She gives herself permission to
Not to be herself
Not to smile
Hide and cry

The she is me and I am her
I give myself permission
To let my emotions
Sometimes take over

Give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you need or want to feel without carrying the guilt of not “being yourself”

Sometimes the person
you want isn't always the
person that you need

If I aligned my chakras
If I cleansed the blockage
If I were a little more brave
I'd be floating up eight feet
In my own salt water sea
I would spring a leak
Like nothing you've ever seen
But I can't afford the scene
I can't yet tear my seams
But I'm sure it's coming
I feel it sitting on my sternum
Lightly stinging my septum
Like too much wasabi
Like too much trauma
Like too much time
Spent thinking too much
About things I can't change

Now that you're not my sky,
Why should I share,
My golden cup of sunshine with you.

Your lies and cheating habits has not broken my heart,
In fact I have become stronger,
I am learning to rearrange my life.

But we walk away

when life still  holds more-

indeed every day-

for us to explore

A mother can never abandon her son,
No matter what,
But a wife can divorce a husband if things don't go well.

You take the dirt
of this life and
turn it into
sunflowers.

It hurt her so badly
Yet, it didn't stop her
from moving forward

Can be fake,
Understand the person behind the smile.
