Oblivion
January 4, 2021
stars are born from dust and destruction
so when you are sitting silently on
your bed holding your breath
as tears well in your eyes
after another day of
i’m fine
simply begging yourself not to
fall apart
let yourself cry and be vulnerable
soothe from your scars
for a wound only heals when you
gather the strength to leave it alone
so collapse
crumble
succumb to the pain
fall into oblivion but
always remember that stars are born
from dust and destruction
this is not your death
it’s a whole new beginning
and you will shine more
unapologetic and powerful
than ever
