write it down

make art 

don't stop when the bleeding starts 

get blisters on your fingers

Read these words 

and they will make you whole

believe them 

and you will never have been broken 

These tears can be mended 

Some seeds must be striated 

by winter and time

Paint me a lie

Tell me a story about myself 

So I can walk on unafraid 

So I can slow down and dream
