amazing, not waking up to guilt.
The rain taps wet fingers on the pane
seems to be nature's morning exhibitionist.
this is the day I won't belittle myself
for human mistakes
and when the realization that I still have my kindess
despite my sin
relaxes me
perhaps I won't smile
but I will feel like I've no longer denied
what I've been fighting for too long.
This morning I won't condone the she that lived within last night
beachside with cloudy skies
but I will not put my hand so harshly on her now
for every part being flesh
every feeling being spirit
she could only have life if I gave it to her.
Everyone knows I'd like to be good
but my shattered wings should have carried
my unrealistic expectations
and my tired body of love
back to earth a long time ago
and I should not have to feel doomed
when I want to be weak.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

(sigh) This is a very sincere and promising way to approach this kind of heartache, sweet friend, may you always let yourself meditate aftert each battle then reproach again and always wear a smile on your heart and believe! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!

May love and light alway shine upon you!

Love,

Perhaps, you should give life to yourself, and not to yourselves.

Thank you.
