What happens when words whisper? They form poetry. They tell stories. They breathe life. Right here…
Fish in water don’t realize they’re in water until they are gasping for air on land. Much like the priviledged don’t realize their advantages until they’re disadvantaged. They just keep swimming while others drown without water.
“When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” ― Oscar Auliq-Ice
In relationships we often
allow others to become
a part of who we are.
You may have to just let go
of this foreign part of yourself
to feel whole again.
X them out
Close the screen
Don’t leave yourself open
Because they’ll still be there
Just draining your battery
in the background like
an app you didn’t close
X them out
I’m not brokenhearted
but I once was and
I want to always remember and
I want to always hold a piece of it
somewhere within me
so I will always feel
for the brokenhearted
That thing you keep fighting against isn’t “them”. Its your spirit telling you it’s time to operate differently. But like the humans we are, our natural reaction is to fight against it. Enter that other zone! Step away from all you’ve known and take hold of the discomfort needed to level up in all aspects, it’s time! No more excuses. Just do it.
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” –Barack Obama
I don’t want to make you flutter
in false hope anymore.
I don’t want to make you ache
after yet another failed attempt at love
But trust and be still my heart,
I long just as badly as you do
to find another to love like we do.
I know you’re tired
Tired of being alone
Tired of false hope
Tired of relationships ending
Tired of having to start again
But keeping going,
keep trying, keep loving,
keep praying, keep believing.
Love will find its way to you.
