I would lift you up
As high as i could
My love
But we both know
You will only fall,
Return to it all,
Everything
You are running away from
Here on the ground
If you do not build up strength in your own way,
In your own time.
The might of
Your own wings must come about within
Your soul.
To get there
You have to fly yourself,
But
Not by yourself.
I am learning too.
We all are.
her mind was quite broken you see.
for so long the road to healing has been most tedious.
she has had to learn to allow herself grace
and tenderness unapologetically
she has had to learn she does not need to justify this to
anyone
for even she was unaware that those wounds were too painful to touch
that even her skin was deeply bruised
with heart and mind
and this takes time
giving herself space to grow new strength
unspoken
and nurturing her own roots
and spirit
which ultimately remain
unbroken
love and tenderness for oneself grow freely when welcomed
and cared for unconditionally
Be still
And wonder
At the silent grace
Within your soul.
Do not let the veil of silence
Fool you.
For it is not weakness
It hides behind.
You carry a strength beyond
Measure.
I’m throwing myself off this ledge
I’m going to do my best to fly
And if I crash
It’s nothing worse than I’ve already felt inside.
I’m going to get back up and climb to the top
Cuts and bruises on my hands
I’ll stand proud and strong and close my eyes
Not knowing where I’ll land.
Because I’ve let go of all my fear
I’ve found a strength I’ve never known
I thought I was going crazy
But I’m only heading home.
