choose love

i would rather breathe love 

and risk looking crazy

than breathe crazy

and just look like love

i would rather be whole

and look incomplete

than look whole

and know that parts of me are missing

i would rather take a chance on something that i know is great

than succeed with something that i know is marginal at best ...

#chooselove

find your voice

we must not let words
get comfortable
or trapped
and live
in our throat
slowly trickling
our truth
back down
into a puddle
that hurts our soul
and keeps us from living
and keeps us from loving
the way we are made to
