YOUR SOFT HEART

                                 




You are still the child who gently places

felled baby bird back in their nests.

You are still the soft soul that gets

your heart broken over cruel words

and awful acts when you watch the news.

You are still the gentle heart who once

tried to heal a flower by trying to sick

it's petals back when ignorant feet trampled it.


This is why you are important.

This is why you will always be needed.


Kindness is the greatest endangered thing.

And here you are, existing, with your heart so full with it.

I NOTICE

                               I think about you as I write. I worry about what I'm saying or not saying. I worry about what you must think of me when you read this, because we both know you still do. Although  maybe not for much longer.  Or may be you always will. I think about how this will eventually stop. This constant urge to tell you everything on my mind. Like how a lot of wonderful things have happened recently. Like how I can't watch Austin power movies anymore. Like every time it rains , and I mean REALLY rains, I think about how we could've made that kiss better. I think about the way you used to look at me. How once upon a time every secret  held a gem, or how I never stopped loving your laugh. NO matter where I hear it. It still made me smile. I know this will stop. It always does. But I'm allowed to miss you. Or rather this idea of you I created . I'm allowed to be angry. I'm allowed to walk through each memory and keep hold of the small treasures,

Everything happens for a reason

                                          Everything. Your highs. Your lows. Your happiest moments and the most painful ones. Your failures and  your success. Your losses and your gains. Just  remember-people can't come in and out of your life for no reason. The lessons you learn and the growth that you experience is never spontaneous. It's always meant to be. There's a higher purpose. A goal. A final destination; or a peal in your journey that you will have no idea of until you reach it. But for that- you need to climb the mountain. For that -you need to look for a deeper meaning . For that you need to pay attention to everything and everyone around you, especially those that love you and leave you. There are some lessons that only pain can bring out. There are some lessons that the biggest joys of your life will reveal to you. And there are some lessons that you never knew were lessons until they walked out of your life. Think about it-only then will you stop treating you

There's a girl

                                        Remember the days when you couldn't stop singing dancing and dressing up laughing and grinning? Well that was before they all mocked how you dressed said you would never fit in with the rest and so you stopped smiling and changed what you wore when music plays you do not dance anymore in case you look silly in case you look daft for fear it will dredge up those memories past for fear that you'll feel like you used to back then embarrassed and worthless again and again see you stopped singing loudly then stopped altogether stopped being someone that they would remember  but there's a girl watching she's looking to you trying to figure out what she should do should she stop singing and swallow her voice? pick outfits to wear that would not be her choice? should she resist urges to get up and dance cause sitting there quietly no one will laugh but neither will she she will not know the feeling of singing so loudly and dancing so free
