safe.

take it how you want

it shatters and falls apart

months and months of fixing yourself gone.

you didn't feel secure in feeling happy;

but sadness is always safe

the comfort in your own tears makes it hard to drown,

the peace in your own blood makes it hard to bleed out.

i loved this piece.
these two lines hit me hard:

'the comfort in your own tears makes it hard to drown,
the peace in your own blood makes it hard to bleed out.'

{beautiful wordplay.}

We feel safe in what we know. Emotionally charged. Sorrowfully written.

Great read.

With love

Emotion. It's either an opium to drown in, poison that kills the soul or fuel to power the spirit on the inside. This poem is intense

[jaide]

in the end, we should always learn to make our emotions fuel to power us no matter how much struggle it takes.

[Akinlolu]

That's exactly the point, my friend.
