Heart on my sleeve

calmAvocado2133 April 9th, 2022

Finding you,

Was like finding a meteorite,

On the ground.

Your impact on my soul,

Shattering my foundations so I was forced to rebuild.

Bringing light to my old wounds I tried to hide,

Forcing me to care and heal them,

Giving me the abilities to search the heavens.

Freeing me from my tethers of the past.


You needed to be broke free from your ball and chain,

Keeping you in the past.

Your soul yearned for something that you lost hope in,

Yet, you found it in me.

Something unknown,

A thrill and fear for your soul.


Similar to a daredevil,

Loving the adrenaline,

But not the fear.

You craved a change to your mundane life,

You just couldn’t express the change you needed in words.

You lusted after unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance.


Reminds me of how everyone fears tornadoes,

Yet, somewhere along the way,

You begin to fear the sunlight.

Eventually, the sunshine will illuminate what remains from the tunnel of destruction.


While standing there looking at the horizon of the unknown,

You discover that your home is where it always has been,

Residing within you.


You and I found our homes within ourselves,

Free from the path together,

Cut short in this life.

Assisting each other from becoming slaves to the known,

Now it’s time to conquer the unknown separately,

You will conquer the sky,

Soaring with the birds.


While I need to beat against the ground,

Roaming the lands,

Assisting others break their ties.


My freedom stays within my heart, mind, and soul.

Knowing you're always near.

Retaining my home for comfort in the night,

Until I, too, join you my love.

Than we will soar the sky together,

Unbound by the laws of Physics.

@calmAvocado2133 You're welcome :) Writing is a very good way to help process things. It will take some time but I'm sure you'll find the confidence to share more of your poetry here and I hope you don't mind my saying that I look forward to reading more of your works but absolutely no pressure alright? You're allowed to move at the pace that is comfortable to you ❤️

That's perfectly okay to say you look forward to reading more. :) Honestly, it's rather nice to hear because I don't hear it often, if ever.

@carefreeRose1118 Excellent! :) I look forward to reading more of them and I hope you hear how good your poetry is more often but I also know how scary it can be to share these things because it's almost as though you're sharing a piece of your soul with the world.
