Every Word You Cannot Say

by Iain S. Thomas

I know that you get ink on your fingers and don’t know when it’ll come off. I know strangers can stain your heart in the same way.

always

I know you hurt and that you love and that, sometimes, love is the reason you hurt.

💔

(What you feel is not brokeness, it is the desire to love yourself how you were meant to be loved. It is your heart crying out.)

…💔

You cannot fix me because I am not broken. And even though everything has changed, I am still more me than I’ve ever been.
