Grateful Remnants


Thank you.
For evoking the tumultuous poetry
That once laid dormant in hidden corners
Behind the locked doors of my heart
For unlocking those doors
For being just distant enough for me
To safely fall in love with you
And then recklessly, ungracefully out of love
Then back again at the slightest hue
Of the colors I saw when I met you
For being the mirrorrrorim to my past self
Showing me the outside view
Into the windows of a cowering heart's home
For giddy laughter, shy smiles, fiery anger,
For held back tears behind stone faces,
And unabashed emotion--
That cannot be accurately named
For making me happy enough,
Angry enough,
Sad enough,
In love enough
To utter words both shakily and eloquently.
For pushing me away and down
Scary, exciting, untraveled paths beyond the last
Of my remaining barricades.
For freeing me from you.
Please free me from you.
Thank you.

Truth or Dare

[Are You]

brave enough to be raw and honest in each moment you live in?
Can you break free from the norms understanding you wont break even?
Can you love and let go, can you escape what you know -
To openly embrace all of the truths that you don't?


[I Dare You]

to be brave enough to be raw and honest in each moment you live in.
To break free from the norms - understand that you won't break even!
To Love and let go, to escape what you know-
To openly embrace all of the truths that you don't!
