Heal

Cleanse

I was taught

Good things come in threes

Yet so do bad things

Know that

There is rain before a rainbow

Pain in painting

Cry in crystal

BUT

Hurt and scorn couldn’t kill you if they tried

The blade will make your body cry tears of red

Just for a while

Before making it a warrior 

One who fights this cruel world

The blanket can only keep you safe for so long

Don’t cower 

Instead, use it as your cape

Stop waiting for a hero because you’ll be waiting a long time

Believe me, I’ve been in your shoes

I’ve walk miles upon miles 

Soaked to my waste in fear, doubt, and criticism

But, I promise you, it takes a moment

To say “Enough’s enough”

And the negativity will drain away
