My Truth
April 10, 2017
I am Everything.
Everything that is wrong.
Everything that is broken.
Everything I can't fix.
I am Nothing.
Nothing is empty.
Nothing is blank.
Nothing is clear.
I wish I was She.
She is beauty.
She is whole.
She is wonderful.
I am Not.
Not is ugly.
Not is wrong.
Not is absent.
I am Different.
Different is change.
Different is blooming.
Different is beautiful.
I am Pain.
Pain is long.
Pain is sadness.
Pain is unclear.
I am Violent.
Violent is the sea.
Violent is the waves.
Violent is the current.
I am the Abyss.
the Abyss is vast.
the Abyss is deep.
the Abyss is lonely.
I am the Ocean.
the Ocean is cold.
the Ocean is dark.
the Ocean is quiet.
Waves of Silence wash over me,
and finally, I am Peace.

I was fighting with my boyfriend and he said "everything isn't perfect but that's okay" to which I responded "I am everything" as in I am not perfect. I began to pick at myself and cling to all the things I thought were wrong and wrote them in a way that I felt was beautiful.
