The Light Behind Your Eyelids

In your darkest moments, there are bright hands reaching for you and a voice whispering, "Please just open your eyes and see me."

Even now, I whisper.

The World Is Not As Dark As It Seems

If you ever wake up, and think that no one needs you, I need you.

If you ever wake up, and think that there's no love, I will always love you.

If you ever wake up, and can't find your purpose, I will hold a candle and help you find it.

If you ever wake up, and don't know who or why you are, I can tell you.

If you ever wake up, and don't know why you bothered, I will remind you.

Please remember me, and let me give you reasons.

The Best I Could With What I Had In The Time I Was Given

What would you do to a heart, given the heartbeats over an entire lifetime, to do it in?

The Cage Holds A Rare Blue Sun

If you find them, tell them all you have said and heard before you found them.

Tell them what rules you invented for yourself along the way. Explain how you could never do certain things and how jealous you are of them, for being able to do them.

Tell them how happy you are that now, you can do those things, because they're there.

Tell them about the first thing that made you smile and the last thing that made you cry.

If you find them, tell them everything.

The River Floats On Soil

If at the end all this, we discover ourselves again and again, then you cannot look at me and say that any moment was wasted, that any teardrop didn't matter.

Come And Listen To Me Read This Out Aloud

The Space That Remains

Your heart can leave you.
It can be taken or you can send it on its way. In both cases, it will be bigger when it returns.

The Alchemy Machine

If you can take the sadness and despair the world gives you and breathe it back out as love and hope, breathe some back to me.

The Water In A Glass

If you blame everyone else for who you are when you fail, I hope you remember to credit them when you succeed.

The Gap Between Who You Are And Who You Want To Be

Nothing can be beautiful.

Not all the spaces inside you need to be filled.

Who you still have the chance to be, lives in the spaces you give yourself.
