A journey to self love

It Was

by Kelsey R


 

 

It’s like you brought out the sun

As if you could lasso the moon

I found comfort in your love

I fell into a swoon 

 

It was this feeling

I couldn’t escape it

I wrapped myself tight 

In your security blanket

 

It’s like you ended the world 

When you didn’t want to stay 

I found myself in a whirl

Where I didn’t feel safe

 

It was this fear 

In my own durance  

Who am I 

Without your assurance? 

 

It’s like you could heal me

As if you held all the truth

Who even am I

Without having you? 

 

It was this realization

When I least expected it

Some motivation

To pick up where you left it

 

It was the courage to get out of bed

It was fighting those thoughts in my head

It was not needing permission

It was about loving me instead
