There is a pain
I hold on to
Because if I didn't suffer
I'd be lost
My sense of self comes from
When I was treated wrong
If I deny my pain I
might get lost
When others stop criticizing me
I start to criticize myself
What
don't
they
see?
I had a dream
I didn't worry
Turns out I was not
annihilated
In my dream
This lady
appeared
She said "Baby,
if you feel scared Breathe
in the moment And stop involving
all your petty thoughts of identity
Your
world views the narratives What
they
did, the minutiae of
your
life
Honey,
stay in the moment
Stay in your body
So you don't hate
Little darling
Stay in your body
So you don't have to do
that anymore"
