You're a work of art. Celebrate it.
been dreaming of
the desert
until the dreams came true
there’s nothing but
the dust
fierce wind and
raging sea
I thought I’d
face the truth and
know myself
but somehow
all I did
was to bury
my head
in hot black sand
maybe this is all
that’s there to know
about me
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
it hurts so much
to carry
all these old wounds

One day
I’d like to relax
Take a break
From this burning through
The atmosphere
At full speed
But I’m worried
I might just
Disappear
It’s infinitely easier for me to write stuff for kids than for parents specifically. I used to be a kid and never been a parent so in theory this kinda makes sense. I’m still trying to grasp how is it possible that I find it easier to communicate with a seven year old than with […]
