Little Lovelies

if I could wrap my arms

around you so tight

that I could create a world

a world where you are safe

where you belong

where you fit in

I would rip

every

i

n

c

h

of my skin

and bleed into the rivers

so you could feel

at home

...

is it between cartilage and muscle and bone

maybe flesh and flesh

perhaps walls

or oceans

...

it's easy to love yourself

when you let go of

someone that tells you

you're nothing

...

you are everything

anyone that says otherwise

you've outgrown
