We are all born

with

Big love in our hearts.

Complete and bottomless.

We are perfect souls.

But some get trampled

And abandoned on this path,

This journey of life

And we learn to shrink love.

We hide it.

Bury it deep,

Or carry it in a cage keeping it separate

From our heart so as not to touch it

Directly.

But deny as you will,

You are stil love.

You are big, beautiful love.

And the work you do to try and hide it

Consumes every waking hour.

Every dream you dream.

Searching for love elsewhere.

Your love is good enough for you.

Open the cage

And put love back where it belongs

In your heart.
