Faith

I don't want to believe what I was going to believe anyway. Then I am happening to faith rather than it happening to me.

Lightness

Floating is almost unrecognizable when you've been on the ocean floor sucking air through a straw

the struggle

The struggle is never for definition. 

The struggle is always for identity. 

shadowlands

when the darkness overwhelms you
but takes only what it can
it also gives you the gift of knowing that even in darkness you can breathe
you realise that shadows were never your enemy
your enemy was believing you were in the sunshine

Space to breathe

Space to breathe 

Reasons to feel

He let the words loose 

Not knowing if they would find a place to rest

The hurt hurt 

Even when trying not to

The wounded remember more than anticipate 

Lonely, he let the words go. The memory more alive than a tomorrow not yet lived

A moment he would grasp if only he could. The torment to reach for something he could not hold

The desire not to is surpassed by the willingness to want to

Rain

It's like it's rainy in my soul

And though I can't see past the clouds

The wetness nourishes the deepest and thirstiest parts of me

Cracks

We all have them

Let's share them

Let's meet each other in our pain

I want your rain cloud to rain on me
