Long May You Love

because i am a 20 year old young woman.
because i am in love with life.
because i found freedom.

Nothing can ease my soul like writing poetry. Embrace The Calm.

When we met I whispered
to myself “Don’t get attached.”
But now it seems as though
I should have spoken louder-
should have yelled, kicked,
and screamed at this heart of mine.
If my hands were strong,
Not shaking, I’d have built a
Barbed wire fence
around this fragile mess
of tissue and blood,
Of pain and love.

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
