10 HARD LESSONS I'M STILL PEELING OFF MY SKIN:
Some people do not prevent you from falling. They simply show you how - where - to land. You are still expected to bandage your own knees.
When stagnant for too long, bones atrophy. They must continue to move, whether in prayer or in fight.
A life has many faces. Not everyone deserves to witness them all. You can count your confidantes on one hand, without needing to use all five fingers.
When you push a hand away enough times, it becomes a clenched fist. Instead of building a refuge, you tear down any possibility of it existing.
The mind, a doorway to both breathing forest and the darkest dark. (Sometimes they're the same.)
You salvage entire worlds when you walk away from the right demons. You give yourself the chance to create new ones.
Allow the roaring voices to quiet themselves. The tantrums subside when they aren't indulged.
In the stillness, you find out who you are. Sometimes you realize you can't stomach yourself.
There aren't enough poems out there to rid yourself of an amplified ache. All you can do is try to dull it.
When home is more concept than brick, you never stop yearning for its walls of comfort. For the feeling of carpet beneath feet.
