Rise from This Pain

the worst part about falling in love with the wrong person

is that you lose complete control over yourself

the worst part about surrendering is that you lose complete hope

you lose your will

your power

the same power you were supposed to use against him

Darling, use this pain

these explosives

these flames

and let go of this pain once and for all

Start over

rise

flourish

but this time with none other than the help of self-love

holding your head high and caressing your spine

and welcome back every beautiful piece of you

even the smallest pieces of you he shattered

water them with love and care

let them breathe

and let them start living again

because what matters is you
