For all those who carry stories they do not tell, let your heart be healed and love yourselves as much as I love you x
To carry a burden of unbelievable weight
My back bowed down by my head up and straight
Has required of me more than just a good heart
It has required of me not to fall apart
And I must hold in all my panic and despair
Lest another wrench it from me with little to no care
In a moment of truth I see who I will one day be
I am scared but I am hell-bent on setting others free
My heart is so broken and sometimes I feel caged
In this jail I have chosen the suffering I have faced
I look around me and I see fellow travelers wandering alone
It makes me sad and I dearly hope the find a kind home
I think they struggle to see themselves for who they are
Their reflections tell them that their journey took them far
From who they wanted to be and I refuse to let my burden
Take from me my love instead I’d rather harden
The shell around me I don’t want anyone to see
That inside is still a beautiful soul floating happy and free
