I learned a long time ago I am my own validation.
Only I know what is happening to me
And only I know
How I feel,
That this is my reality.
The rest is just words
And I am choosing to save my breath for
Breathing and laughing rather than explaining.
It is a feeling
Tickling the edge of my heart.
A melancholy friend
I have kept at arms length
Who is simply begging to be recognized
And validated.
It is okay to be human.
I brought a missing bit of
My heart back to me today.
I went back and found it
Where i had
Left it full of sorrow
And i held it.
I let myself love this bit
And validate the fact that it
Truly loved me.
My heart missed itself.
Do not take lightly the pain
Of another because they do not hurt like you,
(measuring with your eyes
that which cannot be poured into a cup)
Honor another’s soul (and your own)
And know that pain is pain;
yet again relative only to each persons heart and soul
experience.
We need to sit and listen more
Be gentle
Be love
Laugh
And validate
Look each other in the eyes
And say (to yourself as well)
“I know you exist.
I see you,
I feel you.
You are worthy
And you are enough.”
