I'll hold your hand

I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND


You're hearing but not listening
    Speaking but not talking
    Seeing but not watching
    Smiling but not meaning

I'll understand your reasons
    Your billion emotions

I'll hold your hand
Look in your eye
And pray,
You feel all right..

Your mind has thoughts
That can shift the world
Or bury the love
And cuss and swear
All in your mind
But you say, "I'm Fine"

I know you are broken
I feel your pain
Like a devil's spear
That just crushed your vein

I'll hold your hand
Look in your eye
And pray,
You feel all right..

You want to run and scream
A thousand things you've replayed in your head
A thousand things you wished you'd said
A thousand times you were ignored
And hurt instead

But you kept quiet
And penned it down
Hoping that would help
And I know you're writing
And I know you're crying
With closed eyes now
Not yet believing

I'll hold your hand
Look in your eye
And pray,
You feel all right..

This Is Why Passionate Girls Come Across As Clingy

This Is Why Passion ate Girls Come Across As Clingy She texts first and initiates dates and blurts out how she feels. But that doesn’t mean she’s clingy. She’s not going to wilt without your love. She can survive on her own. She’s perfectly capable of lasting the weekend without a hot date and eating a dinner cooked for one. This girl isn’t desperate. She’s passionate. She would rather come on too strong than too weak. She would rather admit that she cares than pretend that she’s heartless. She isn’t interested in games. Sending mixed signals. Playing hard to get. Trying to trick someone into liking her by being a watered down version of herself. In her mind, it’s better to text back after two seconds than two hours. It’s better to make plans than act like she’s too busy to see you. It’s better to admit how much she likes you than to hint about her feelings for months. Why lie? Why pretend? Why not take a leap and speak fro...

On Days I Do Not Love Myself

On Days I Do Not Love Myself On days I do not love myself, grief shows up at my front door like an uninvited guest.It touches the walls of my apartment, disrupts the silence that once existed in its confines and tries to break into it. It sits through lunch with me and offers to buy me coffee. It won’t seem to go away and for some reason; I find myself being unable to say no. Suddenly, waffles don’t taste as good as they did. Coffee tasted a lot more bitter than it did yesterday. On days I do not love myself, a wounded heart carries itself inside my home. Like a soldier who just arrived from the battlefield. It tells me that there are wounds inside each one of us no one knows about. Some days, great stories of valor are born from it. Other days, there is the lingering trauma of the war that dwindles. I learned something that day. Loneliness comes after, making its presence known in the cold, flameless fireplace. Its presence is so prominent I can feel it crawl under my s...

Don’t Be Afraid To Talk To Yourself Sometimes

Don’t Be Afraid To Talk To Yourself Sometimes It’s ok to not feel ok. We’ve all been down this road when stresses of life– big or small– become too overwhelming and then leave us literally frozen in action. Helpless. It’s a weird feeling when you feel helpless, worse when you are completely not in control and feel the walls closing in on you. It’s a spiral down the rabbit hole and you have nothing to grab onto and you don’t see the end of the tunnel. I cannot speak for everyone’s experiences and distresses but I can say that this feeling is temporary. Just breathe. Personally, I have a few tricks that I do on my own to get over this overwhelming feeling. Even as someone who has a great network of friends and as someone who loves the social space, I still find it hard to open up to people. It truly takes a lot for me to really let the raw emotions and unfiltered thoughts out, even to my closest friends. I rationalize my implicit actions as not wanting to burden others...
