my body is in constant war between what i want
and what i think is right for me
and when every bone in my body aches for you
and every pulse builds myself up for the inevitable
you with all your gentleness
and with all your love
look me in my eyes
hold my hands close to your chest
and say
“it’s alright.”
and in that moment i simply know that
that is all it takes
to free
and allow myself
to come home to you

it is unhealthy for the mind and heart
to give so much of yourself
and let all your passions out in a cry
to people who cannot fathom the way you endure

give it all that you’ve got,
but don’t forget to give to yourself too
because what good will all of it do
if the one person who sees the world for all the good it has
and makes everyone around her see that good
can’t even live in the light herself?
— you can only carry so much.
