Verses
Let my pain
burn away—
rising from my chest,
pouring from my fingertips,
until all that remains
is hollow,
ignorant,
brittle.
True power
comes with choosing whom to love,
even they are
wholly unexpected.
Around you...
my soul
Contracts, condenses, until it is but a molecule of
fear
silence
self-doubt
When instead
It longs to expand, reaching outward, until it fills an entire universe with
trust
sharing
confidence
I am still trying to heal,
from the frostbite,
of your words,
when you shut me out,
again.
