“My poor heart is tired.
Yet it keeps on beating.

And so I will follow its rhythm,
let it guide me home.”

“She has started
to smile when her path is spinning
to laugh when life grabs at her ankles
pulling like dead weight.

She has started
to trust in the ways of the world
to release her hold on what she cannot control
heartache, hurt, change.

She has started
to realize that her body is beautiful,
her mind strong, her feet on steady ground.

She has found
the only thing holding her back
is the doubt in her own mind.”
