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
