I Believe...

I believe we are taught to obsess over love

But to fear vulnerability

I believe vulnerability is the only avenue

To true love

I believe vulnerability is

The strongest practice we can have


I believe the strongest word we can say

Is “help”


I believe that when we help each other

We heal the wounds within us


I believe emotional wounds should be treated like physical ones-

To tend

To salve

To bandage

To clean

And repeat until the scar is there

As a a reminder of our victory


I believe winning is in between

“I’m sorry” and “thank you”


I believe the in between of sadness and bliss,

Holding them hand in hand

Is where joy resides


I believe everyone deserves to experience

At least two

Ten second hugs

Each day


I believe touch doesn’t mean sex


I believe intimacy exists just as profound


Amongst friends

As it does lovers


I believe in falling in love with souls

Every day


I believe in solitude

Being soulitude


I believe that when we get quiet

Within ourselves

We find our voice


I believe every person

Gets to be listened to


I believe you cannot hate

Someone up close


I believe that rest


Is a revolution


I believe sleep is the way

We teach our bodies

How to die


I believe death

Is our teacher

On how to fully live
