"Speak your Truth"


Right now, my Truth
is that I am alive. I am
Alive, and it hurts, and it’s beautiful,
and it’s a cage, and it is freedom.
My Truth is that I live in Love,
my Truth is that everyday is one soaring Flight,
my Truth is that all I have is this flowing Heart and an
anonymous, infinite, ocean of a Soul.

My Truth is that I am Human, that I open my hands
palm side up, to welcome my Friends.
My Truth is that this is all I can give:
Words. 

My Truth is that     I am kind.     I am selfish.
My Truth is that     I am gentle.     I am hurt.
                 I am tired.
My Truth is that I am so full of life and wondrous energy that
I could spin with my arms stretched open under the stars 
and the wind and the
bright, bright sun for eternity.

My Truth is that I am true. I am no one thing, but I am true.
I’m a paradox, unending. I’m so full of pain that I only want to love.
I want to hug and kiss away any person’s wounds. 
I want to enrich the world with words.
I want to fill every heart with cherry blossom petals.
And I’m not sure what anything really means, but I want to give meaning
wherever it could go.

    I can feel the breeze surrounding me,
    it's a green spring day and the world is alive
    I only ever thought of poetry on days like this,
    the beauty of nature inspiring my words
    Now, I think of you

    pink lights,

    friendly smiles,

    arms and legs in

    a mess

    over each other,

    cat in between.

    soft and tranquil,

    nerves and you’re still.

    laughter’s contagious,

    flowers are healing.

    At the Very Least

    I’m sorry for your heart that cares for mine,
    I’m sorry that I can’t sit still in this love.
    I’m sorry because internally I’m shaking, I’m worrying, I’m scared.
    I have this fear that you’ll leave my life in
