It’s scary, it’s hard to face & admit, but it’s also freeing and enables me to connect with others. #youarenotalone #mentalhealtheffectseveryone #todayiamokay https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhXcoghf_c4D-PWq42Y-9YeF6LXyE2W75GXYs0/?igshid=1ejbyqi2om7do

Patience

there is a tension in the feelings

that come from my mouth

as if after every other word

is silence begging volume--

“i miss you” cannot possibly be enough 

to fill the space

between “i’m” and “okay.”

but darling

today

i am okay

because i have spent so much time

looking up at the stars

and they have spent so much time

looking down at me

and what can this distance matter,

how could it ever hope to measure up,

when all of a sudden the night sky

i have always yearned for

now stands 5′3,

tastes like laughing until you can’t breath,

fills me with contentment, with joy,

fits perfectly

snuggled up 

against my chest?
