"We know what we are, but not what we may be" - Shakespeare


dear me,

where ever you are

where ever you end up

its okay to be angry

scream

yell until your vocal

cords begin to burst

from the pressure

when you are curled up

into a ball of blankets

allow yourself

to cry

to let sadness melt

down your cold cheeks

dear me,

move

let go

forget their wishes

their desires

for what

who

they want you to be.

write until your fingers cramp up

and write more.

hold onto what

drives you to the place

you’d never though you would go.

dear me

walk

walk

away from the hurt

that you’ve been walking beside

for years.

smile.

smile for the years that your lips

were nothing but i straight

uneasy line on your face.

dear me,

live.

there is more to life

than just

existing in your skin.

breathe.
