This is my patchwork heart
That I have earned with
Every tear and stitch
Every bruise and bandage
❀
This is my trophy
Moulded from starlight
Polished with poetry
In the shape of
Survival
❀
This is me
Finally floating
Where once I was
Weighed down by
The dark of the past
❀
I have fought for every
Scrap of this happiness
Spitting out blood and
Teeth and dreams
To touch this kind
Of sunlight
❀
And I will hold onto it
With clenched fists and
White knuckles
❀
I have let them
Take my joy before
But never again

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
