There are days where
I just feel raw
Exposed and open
When a sob is locked inside
And tears get stuck on my eyelashes
Cause I can't seem to just cry
Where I hold my stomach
As if I'm cradling my inner child
That weak, innocent part of me
Who will always fear getting hurt
The time is now,
And it is exciting
And terrifying
And anything in between
Because,
I never can quite seem to be
Just one thing
Some days I believe it's because
I'm diverse, experienced, open minded
Other days, to balance things out,
I believe I just don't know
A single thing about myself.
I ache for you
For the pain and suffering you go through
I ache
