You're a work of art. Celebrate it.
Rather than rewriting my story daily, I spent the last few weeks taking it apart instead. Every day I’d take an honest look inside, pick some scary old story that triggered me in some way, then journal about it in private until I wasn’t afraid anymore. The more I did that, the less I felt […]
I’ve pulled off
all of my skin
I’m standing
before you naked

unprotected
I started
weaving a song
to make it my shield
and asylum
then stopped
enough band aids
and songs
I can stand with this
in silence
