Finally Enough

It is time 
   She whispered
gently while I dreamt
   You are ready. 

 It is time 
   She whispered
gently urging me forward
   You are strong Enough. 

 It is time 
   She whispered
gently brushing the fear from my shoulders
   You are brave Enough. 

It is time 
   She whispered
softly tucking my worry in her pocket
   You are powerful Enough. 

It is time 
   She whispered
quietly laying my heart back on my sleeve
   You don't need to be afraid to keep this. 

It is time 
   She whispered
softly tucking my loneliness in her pocket
   You won't need to hide behind this anymore. 


It is time 
   She whispered
pressing my hope into my chest
   you can't lose this again. 

 It is time 
   She whispered
grasping my hands tightly in hers
pouring love where it had been lost
   You are ready to hold this again. 

It is time. 
   She no longer needs to whisper.
I am no longer afraid of what she has to say.

It is time.
I am everything I need to be. 
I have always been Enough.
I will always be Enough.

Waking up.

For so long, I could only hear the screaming. it rang in my ears filling my head with noise from dawn to dusk When night fell, the screams fell away too. when the screams stopped     only silence. I couldn't decide       which one was worse. it became madness every time light broke so would the silence I never needed an alarm clock. when they would fade I sometimes found myself missing them. at least with the screaming, I couldn't hear the sorrow. nights brought far too much quiet. left me too much time to hear the sadness beating in my chest. Without them, I felt emptier. Like a part of me     was waiting to be filled. For far too long, I lived with them they drowned out    the noise of my struggling existence. For far too long, I welcomed them. they became a friend who could never leave me behind. Once, I asked them        to stop. They only screamed   ...

superstitious

As a child I would rip     the petals from a flower  I tore from the ground    asking as each color fell     does he love me?     Does he love me not? holding my breath    as if I didn’t know the answer. I would make    a wish everytime      I saw the first star   light the sky        wish I may        wish I might closing my eyes and crossing my fingers    as if somebody     was really listening   this time. I would sidestep   each crack in the sidewalk on the days I liked my Mom and find extra   on the days      I didn’t as much. as if my little feet  could have taken down such a powerful woman ...

Not ever

Not ever. I never thought   space would be this     empty for years when I looked up I saw a sky full of light   warm and   round. when night fell it was even more     magical. at night, the light danced. I thought the stars were closer. I never thought   space would be this     lonely. I had dreams of flying among universes of dancing on a moonbeam of tumbling along Saturn’s rings in those dreams I was never  alone I thought I would have     someone to dance with. I never thought   space would be this     cold I had nightmares of flying too close to the sun of melting into Mercury of falling through the sky in those nightmares  I burned. I never thought I would be afraid of freezing. ...
