Have some faith.

The good times will be worth your wait.

[theliterarychest]

Success takes time and it will never come so easy...

[thesincerethoughts]

Faces are never beautiful or ugly

Minds are.

[ninamewrites]

healing is not a staircase

sometimes it's a boardwalk that stretches for miles in the wrong direction

sometimes it's a metal slide on the playground that cuts up the backs of your legs

at no times, though

is it a staircase

you cannot go up for so long without stumbling

and if you get too high

your legs will start to tremble

there's clouds below you but you know you're not safe yet

and there's no railing to hold onto

because you've pushed them all away

the climb will take years either way

if you fall

because you've gotten this far only by the strength in the roots of your hair

and the people sleeping in the next room

and the life that waits for you at the top

like white lights reflecting off a wedding band

and watering plants in a home you’ve filled with love

not the acrid smoke scent of childhood

the air is so clear you can taste it so you climb one more stair

without looking down

because you can't look down and you can't look back

So you move forward

but you know that even if you make it

you’ll dream of the long expanse of the staircase

and the night you could have fallen

you’re moving towards a life of what ifs

But it's not a staircase because you’ve been on the same path for so long

8 years that feel like 80

nights spent sitting in a cold shower

and drinking in a car in a 2 am parking lot

there are still bruises on your heart

and your skin

And Damn the people that think its easy

to climb or to move or to

Heal
