self love

♥️

By angela hepworthPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

awakened from an eternity of slumber

basking in the light of a vibrant flame

the day has come where I have risen

no longer merely existing

dwelling in the silence of my abode

my shame is a raging river within me

endlessly, it flows

catching rocks on its venture down

but no longer will it control my hand

I find myself free falling

into a pit of a world made anew

by that flickering candle in the wind

still burning bright all the same

Thank you so much for reading :)

I’m sorry I haven’t been on here as much, reading and writing and interacting with everyone’s work as much as I’d like to. Life has been hard and weird lately, but I’m now newly determined to pull myself out of all this fear and worry and doubt, at least for a little while, and propel myself forward.

Love you guys, and hope you’re doing well ♥️
