that glow.
you are not a bad person.
but there were some things that broke you.
and sometimes a broken spirit does things that even they, themselves do not quite understand.
hurt the ones they love the most.
like build walls.
like pretend that they do not care when inside they are quietly weeping.
i know.
you have seen the depths of some terrible places.
things that took every ounce of peace from your body and sacrificed it at the altar of survival.
but you have known soft breezes too.
the ones that whispered their silences into the nape of your neck and told you not to let go.
there is still breath in your lungs and a fire that’s burning.
hold on to that glow.
hold on.
