Something wonderful

Don’t focus on the negative-
too much of it already.

are better
loving things she said

makes it better
should enter troubled heads
more often

accept yourself
once wound, once bled
gone now, safe
let it all go, give
to someone, heal
you can you do, Ive seen you

bars are made to see thru
escape
with wondrous things in heart

and
Light only makes shadows
If you stop it

for she had given birth
so passage comes to light
this sun
now I breathe these waterfalls
where once the dead of night
