pink

I will not always come dressed as your favorite shade of pink

nor will every day I only speak like the world is sunny

Even when many times I will express how it really can be

I will not talk only of the things that on the surface are shiny

I will dig inside and find the raw truth and bring it close to me

Examine it, consider what it looks like privately,

learn of it, and marvel at that too, 

then wonder about how we can set it free

while believing there is hope for more than just 

what it claims to be

and then I might express it so that it lives vibrantly

You are enough

I will bring my hands to your cheeks

and draw you close to me

Look into your eyes and firmly say

"You are enough, you are more than enough

You are gentle, kind, loving

and it carries weight to be."

hands

I dreamt of hands soothing me, 

and it was the most wonderful feeling—

and I knew this was exactly everything 

I could ever need
