to her, to me

to her,

the 15 year old me,

would you still hope? if i tell you

i'm nothing of what you wished for,

would you be alright? if i tell you

i'm nowhere near what you expected for you life.

i never grew taller past 15,

there's a certain curse to that,

for this petite body is incapable of swallowing all these big emotions, they're too huge for me;

i never knew where to put them.

this body is broken shelf, those cracks on flesh aren't easy to mend.

i could never outgrow myself, what hope do I have to outgrow them?

i tried to perfect that voice and that smile,

that handwriting, that laugh, those marks,

but i could not.

the frame for the picture perfect life, i broke it with my own arms.

would it be okay? if i told you,

i wasted my days in misery,

there's a list of excuses and self pity.

to her,

the 15 year old girl,

and would it be okay if i ask of you

to hug me and pamper me tonight,

would it be okay if i am doing nothing

but just trying to stay alive.

Let me be a branch that knows how to dance with the wind, that knows when to bend, and when to stand firm. Let me lift myself up to the heavens with joy, despite gravity, despite the weight of snow. Let me learn to be thankful for a burning sun as well as for a gentle one. Let the soft rain nurture me and be a caress,and the torrential monsoon teach me how not to drown despite the storms, the thunder, and the floods. Let the world around me ever change, but let my core stay the same.

e.v.e.

mental illness made me so desperate for joy that i forgot it was this simple… feeling the ocean against your skin… a really good guitar riff… sun on your back… holding the door for a stranger… a cold shower on a hot day…….. the world is like a cradle and i am just a little baby. eyes wide open there is so much to see

“Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.”
