"i, too, am covered in thorns." -rumi

to brace


you were blessed with the ability to control certain things

so forget about the things you cannot

even though you feel tangled in a web of hopelessness

just remember you're found when you're caught


i can see it in your eyes, your desires make you ache

but they aren't things that can be bought

know that the integrity of true emotion can stand alone

even if you think your whole being isn't worth a lot


i insist that you replace your desires with appreciation

and your demons in satin with angels in silk

drink not from the cup of negativity, guilt and sadness

you won't find what you need in mother's milk


instead, just remember the music that flows from you

you can break the loneliness if you just listen to yourself

recognize that your life is only a test and you will see

a door open and welcome you in, if you choose health
