[soul-from-another-era]

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

[humanconditionpoetry]

Many Tales...Many Times:

Pooled from the Ancient Voices of Women.

Tied and Interlaced.

Graced.

Fake.

Demons!

They Shouted.

They Prayed.

Exorcism.

Burned in Pain.

To Those with Resentment-

Not Caring How it was Made.

So, We lie...

Hide.

Lay and Rest.

In the Making of the Bed....

In the Ground inside a Grave.

We Saw...

We Prayed.

"Please..."?

"No More-"

Punned and Outwited.

False Claims.

False Days.

Tears Show....

Gave them Paint.

Colors.

Beautiful Art-

From Horrific Tragedies.

That's all -

They Know.

That is all -

History Shows.

Many Tales, Many Times.

Till the Voices and Words are Over-Climbed.

But Even Then...

Many Tales, Many Times.

[minimalist-quotes]

You're not grown until you know how to communicate, apologize, be truthful and accept accountability without blaming someone else.

If hurting me does not hurt you, you don’t love me. You’re using me.

Some feelings seem like true works of art—perfectly staged, sensitively portrayed, beautiful to behold. But not everything that looks beautiful is also real. Feelings can be imitated, distorted, and polished so much that even trained eyes can hardly tell the difference. But authenticity isn't revealed in first impressions. Authenticity reveals itself in moments when there's no longer a stage. In times of silence. In moments of truth. And that's precisely where all masks fall away. Because a copy will never breathe like an original. Because real feeling doesn't have to be perfect—just real. -akaya_gx

[minimalist-quotes]

Any time you worry that someone is going to judge you, that is really just you judging yourself.

If a writer falls in love with you, you will never truly die...

I kept watering dead things, thinking I could bring them back to life.
