I didn't know you could play the guitar and sing! This is AMAZING!

THANK YOU for sharing! So proud of you and for letting anxiety take the back seat ;)

I will never stop reading this piece without having my jaw fully on the floor the whole time. It's. freaking. BRILLIANT

the second stanza is S T U N N I N G. Thank you!

not just romantic love, All. the. love. <3

I love this one so so much! I never thought about the pressure the saying "never grow up" could give kids! And the last stanza = chef's kiss

one of my very faves of yours! Thank you for having it here so I can read it over and over and over... and over ;)

I will read this over and over and over again. This needs to be published!! "Please continue to prioritize your core, deep wants over resume and cover letter rewriting and interview prep." - BRAVO.

This is painfully gorgeous. And we can definitely handle the whole thing ;) <3

"I buried it deep within my garden And was one day surprised To see all of the weeds that had grown in." WOOOOF. Thank you.

I'm so grateful to feast my eyes on this again, listening to it's birth was gorgeous and glad it's here to come back to! You're commentary at the top is a beautiful point to make - that feeling of getting swept up in the current of the muse is nearly a spiritual experience - and to allow yourself to feel moved by your own creation is SUCH A GIFT! <3

ohhhh the last line! What a gorgeous piece. thank you.

love love looove this!

The last stanza - LOVE.

"the gray glow of uncertainty" <3 <3 <3 LOVE

I will read this one over and over and over again and still find inspiration and a part of my heart being healed by this. Thank you.

<3 <3 <3

Open my doors and windows until the dark embraces the light, Being held for the very first time Despite being touched many times before. Love love love <3

"but my fourth grade, glittery-blue Spacemaker toolbox’s Scotch tape and Elmer’s glue were no match for the fragments I’d become." and then the ending. absolutely stunning. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing!
