Dear me,

This is for us,

for all of us.

Hiding in there,

feeling trapped,

captured by insecurity,

paralysed by fear.

I’m out here all alone while you’re in there all obscured.

I breathe for us,

I speak for us,

I move for us.

You think for us,

you feel for us,

you search for us.

You are me and I am you.

You are reason,

you are sentimentality,

you are everything in between.

I am everything that gives you life.

I am here but so are you.

I set you free so you can fly.

Speak your soul,

hold your thoughts

sigh out your wonder.

Go out into the world and show me you see it clearly.
