always and never
use these words sparingly
very few things are never
almost nothing is always
you are NOT broken
stay away from people
who want to "fix" you
don't be afraid of strangers
be smart about them
but don't be afraid
live by yourself
even if only for a few months
there's going to come a time
when you will need to be strong
and self-sufficient to survive
some experience at it
might be a good idea
I'll be happy when...
or I'll be happy if...
why not just stop at
I'll be happy.
at least once a year
go for a walk
with a child's hand
in yours
see with a child's eyes
you will "grok" hope
have faith in something
believe in something
bigger than yourself
and don't let anyone
ever
define that for you
at least once you should
dance with abandon
love in excess
covet with wantful eyes
something sinful
and delicious
and immerse yourself
in it
completely and fully
experience
the consummation
of lust
but whatever comes your way
whatever you do
always,
always
strive for grace
you will always be beautiful
I love this poem.
