Well, Yeah...

Well of course I'm a little bit afraid.
But more of me is completely excited and ready.
I'm ready to dive into this head first.
If you asked,
I'd say yes.
I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
Ask me sometime.
I'm hoping.

Re-Apportionment

There's a part of me that is very afraid of your eyes on this page.
You know, things change so rapidly in this world.
Every word from weeks past is just that.
It's past and done and gone but
I'm worried you'll be afraid of it.
You have so much fear buried in your chest.
Please don't let it overtake you.
My words are for you now. They're yours.
And so am I
if you will take me.

Newness

Everything I see in you is the equivalent to a thousand splendid suns.
You've lit up my world, and I'm catching up to it like a fire.
Hold me up to it. Let me shine with you.
But please, don't let me burn.
I just want to dance without falling into darkness.
Don't let it overtake me again. I can't handle that.
I want to know what its like
to forever have the light reflecting off of
the spark in your eyes and
the dawn of my smile.

Can I Walk You Through This?

Did you know every new day is one step away from what used to be?
Walk on forward.
Step strong, keep your chin up, and don't let the world let you down.
You are your biggest enemy.
How can I get you to love
everything you've learned to hate
and then ignore
for a long 27 years?
It's not my job to change the world.
It's fully my wish to shake up yours.
Can I look into your eyes and tell you
that you're worth it?
You wear your insecurities like an armor.
Sometimes, I can't break through.
Sometimes too, you're took weak to take it off.
Let me help you.
The world is only look at you objectively
because you're letting them.
Stop befriending worry.
Stop wishing for something else.
You are who you are
and inside the skin you were given from the day
you were born into this world.
It's never going to be easy.
But you are more than good enough.
Everyone glances with judgement. It's a human condition.
But you take it to heart more often than not.
Take yourself to the heart of it
and learn that the world is not against you.
You have such a beautiful heart, and yeah,
I think I'm falling for it.
But how can you love anyone else, fully, unless you can love yourself?
I'm so willing to walk besides you through this,
Hold your hand while you find out who you are.
You've waited too long to figure that out.
Let yourself be free, and don't look around for approving glances.
Who you are is wonderful when you're not living afraid.
Fear is just a temporary enemy
too weak to stay around too long.
I would know. I used to walk in your shoes.
I used to wait for the approving looks and nods
so I could move on with my own life.
Its your own life.
I want you to start living it again.
I want you to take back everything that's yours
and hold it tight to your chest.
I want you to breath in and feel your heartbeat
and know
that you are so incredibly alive and awake
and that this world is a beautiful place
that wants to embrace every part of you.
And I want to walk beside you
through it all.
