own the broken
Own the parts of you
that are broken
remember the darkness
how it wrapped itself around you
so tightly you thought
you would suffocate
from the weight of it
You've seen better days since
seen the sun through the clouds
and remembered how to smile
Don't let it go
when temptation whispers
sweet oblivion
on this bad day
bad week
bad month
bad year
Own the parts of you
that are broken
remember the darkness
how it wrapped itself around you
so tightly you wanted to die
There are worse places to go back
than this bad day

Dear I,
Brava! Brilliantly said and beautifully written. Stopping here because commenting on perfection feels redundant. H🌷

Beautiful. There is a version of us in the past who desperately wanted to be where we are now. How fucking lovely that we are.
And I echo Turtle -- the assertiveness, the decisiveness is the bomb.
You explore/explain the weighted dense reality of a hard day in a life with such purity of emotion that it naturally underscores this wonderfully felt rife human essence. It's like a bit of self forgiveness, fond memory and a fulfilling hope for tomorrow have all come together to help make it through a particularly pressing moment... It's the kind of writing and thought process that I fall head over heels for...
