Taste the fear
It is the blood you taste from inside your nose
Swallow back the tears
They are a hot air flowing from your lungs
Don't hide from it
It is there, it will follow you to your dreams
Leaving you with scars of sapphire
Engraved into the pit of your soul
Such is the scars engraved into your skin
Feel the fall
It is the breeze that tastes of decaying leaves
Hold yourself
You are the galaxy, within you a supernova resides Hesitant to breathe
Hear the thud of your heart
It is the heat that fuels the rain to pour
Feel the tightening in your chest
You are the chains holding yourself down
Listen to yourself
Hear the pity, yet desperately you call
Step back and see
You are in control, and you are all that you need.
You must belive
That you are the problem
Yet even so
You are the solution.
Feel your numb hands
Burning under warm water
Feel the ice
Running down your spine
Taste the wind
Hitting your warm tongue
Taste the cold
Sinking into your soul
Hear the hum
Lightly buzzing you into peace
Hear your breath
As it raises and lowers your heavy chest
Smell the rain
Damp with your tears
Smell the skin
Gently a perfect sweet
See what is in the mirror
In all its beauty and undeniable perfection
See what is on your arms
In all its depreciating existence
Look at yourself once more
Believe in what you see
Whoever you see is their own perfection
Regret can be forgotten
For each morning is a new day
A day to refresh your heart
To clear it of all its doubt and devastation
To replace it with fondness and glory you bring
Love that body
Love that soul
Love the scars
Love yourself as a whole
For love is beauty
Love is perfection
Love is passion
Love is unregrettable dignity
Love is joy
Love yourself
For love
Is you
