sometimes we fall apart.
not because we want to
but because we have to
because we can't breathe anymore
until we let the tears stream down
because our hearts won't beat anymore
until we let the pain hurt
i don't want to run from what hurts
it shapes me
i don't want to pretend the broken isn't there
because it's part of me
sometimes it's better to receive the gift of grieving
than to let bitterness numb my soul
sometimes it's better to fall apart in strong arms
than to try holding up my crumbling world
i don't know the answers
i wish i did though
i don't know why i feel empty
when you call me full.
i look up at the stars
breathe
night after night. they're always there.
i let the rain fall on my face
breathe
i soak it all in deep.
this is good
healing hurts
why do i always think healing is easy
why do i assume strength means an absence of pain.
no.
this is beautiful in the messy
this is promise in the broken
this is life in the dead of winter.
you teach me time and time again
that i dont have it all together
and i dont have to.
you dont want me to.
why trade reality for a mask
why sell authenticity for a show
i do not live to perform
i live for the authentic.
i live vulnerable.
i live to be real.
so i will be.
and here it is.
every heartbeat is my proof. my living proof.
that there's beauty in the dead of winter.
don't wait for me to be perfect.
because i'll never be.
expect me to be real.
and you'll never be disappointed.

What is living if you don't go through good and bad!? I feel like you just ripped my heart out then stitched it back into my body. Beautifully broken and mended. I enjoyed this post so much. Your words make me feel something.
