If I found open resilience
A kind of knowing in yourself
Like receiving an image
Like feeling a touch
I think I’d find
One can’t succeed
With a ghost for love
In the wrong room
Wrapping away at the wrong door
As if not everything
Is meant to be embraced

Feeling forced into a situation
But fighting to save it
Two very different dynamics
Working against each other
What does anyone say my dear?
Where am I?
Who is this?
You don’t have to respond
You aren’t required
Skip over the hurt knowing
That if we focus on the negatives
The positives divert-
Paint my nails yellow
Hang in
Hang on
Don’t recreate the moment
Wait for the moment to come
On its own
Kiss someone if I want to
Feel good about it
Be myself
My whole self
Completely
And see what happens
That’s…
Something I haven’t been
In a long time
How intoxicating
