Blue

Blue

Her blue eyes held the sorrow of the ocean

Deep an unending

The pain submerged

The feeling of worthlessness

The hurt

The fear

Years in the making

Longing for release

But afraid of letting go

Of the only thing she knew

Guarding her scars

I looked into her

Met and felt her pain

Palpable across the gap between us

I wanted to climb inside her fortress

So she wouldn’t be alone

You’re not alone

I’m here

We are here

You are not alone

You have been 

I know

I’ve been alone too

But we are not alone

This is real

This is where we tell the truth

In truth we take our power back

Our lives back

Our stories back

Back from our past

Back from our flaws

Back from our fears of being found out

Back to our selves

Never alone

No longer sealing off the truth

We were so desperate to hide

Now breathe

Light

Breathe
