  “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Today you told I broke you. My Heart- I. Am. Sorry. I deeply regret my lack of care for you. I beg you; forgive my trespass and return home quickly. I am not whole without you, Heart. I cannot be and do and see all the things that are meant for me without you here. When you are ready, I am here, and I will not break you again. #ryantkelsey #writer #writers #writersoninstagram #writerofinstagram #poems #poetry #love #lovequotes #spilledink #lgbt #androgynous #queer #writersofig #writersoninstagram #heart

I Watched...

I watched you... Breakdown completely at the news of the loss. I watched and I waited in that space with you. I watched you fall apart. I watched the pain rush over you, the loss, the pain of those around you. I watched as it took over your entire being. I watched you feel. Every. Single. Thing. I watched your chest completely deflate and then fill back up again, over and over as you struggled to wrap you mind around what had happened. I watch you fight through the urge to retreat. I watched you break open and reach out for help. I watched you take that sadness, that pain, that despair and transform it completely. I watched you connect and put goodness back into the world. I watched you heal. I watched you... It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. -ryantkelsey
