healing for no one but me

by Jennae Cecelia

i find myself crawling into spaces that feel safe, and shutting out the world. but then feeling guilty for thinking i can just turn it all off and push it away.

healing is a journey with multiple different ends.

i drink my coffee when i know it is still way too hot and act surprised when it burns me. but i am so trusting that maybe this time it will not when it is obvious there is no other ending.

today i will not apologize for my beautiful mind and my body that carries me through this life.
