something coming home


i am not actually very brave.

i am afraid of lonely houses
i am afraid of being alone
i am afraid of being afraid.

i am not actually very kind.

i have ruined hearts
i have gone for throats
i have stolen trust and slain it in panic.

i am not actually very wise.

i don't remember what brought me here
i forget what i believe in
and i doubt the unshakable.

i am not actually very strong.

time wears on me
days stretch me hollow and pale
long nights break me into pieces.

so what am i,
after everything else has faded away?

something prodigal.
something lost.

something coming home.




♥
xoxo

p.s. two more posts, and then i'm at camp for two weeks! one will be love overflowing, and the other will be something special. xx
