it’s okay to rest

in the quiet moments when your resolve falters
remember all the times you prevailed over hesitation
take heart in the strength it took you to begin this journey
rest for a little in self-gratitude before continuing on

crossroads

cleaved in half by your words and my actions
half of me is a melting puddle
while the other half of me plants seeds
will i water my potential
or will i drown out my possibilities

let me help

has all this self discovery
really just been an awareness of others

i see in your eyes
the vulnerability i felt
the worry i push away
the insecurity i fight
please let me help you
i see too much, yes
but i help enough, no

heavy lies the halo

you told me i was heaven
and then you left
do you not want heaven
or do you just not want me

i amplified myself
but the louder i got
the less you heard
i blew myself out

a warm blanket or a beautiful mirage

my emotions drip around you
hug down your sides
ripple off your curves
they fully envelope you

i like to think of it
as a warm blanket
wrapped around you
snuggly love

please dont think
that it is suffocating
or overwhelming
and that you cant get away

because as easy as i drip
and as easy as i hold
i can disappear
and i can vanish

vaporized and redrawn
back within me
