Let go.
Don’t be afraid.
Give me everything
you can throw at me.
There is nothing
you can do to hurt me.
Holding it in
is not good for you.
I can take it.
You can’t scare me.
I’m actually a little offended
that you underestimate my strength.
But that’s your problem, not mine.
I’m over it.
How can I help you?
Trail Wood,
8/14
In this boundless space of connection,
I extend my hand, an open heart,
A listening ear, a haven for your words,
A sanctuary where your thoughts can start.
Fear not, for there’s no judgment here,
No limits to the burdens you may bear,
Your vulnerabilities are safe with me,
In this sacred space of empathy, I care.
Release those thoughts, unburden your soul,
For I am here to witness, not to judge,
Pour out your feelings, your hopes, your fears,
In this moment, my heart you won’t begrudge.
You see, there’s strength in sharing,
In embracing our truths, both dark and light,
You’re not alone on this journey, my friend,
Together we’ll navigate the depths of night.
Know this: your words won’t hurt me,
They’re met with compassion, not disdain,
Your struggles, your doubts, your triumphs too,
In this space, they all find room to gain.
And as for underestimating strength,
In vulnerability, true power does lie,
I honor your courage to open up,
In this exchange, let healing amplify.
So, take my hand and let’s walk together,
Through the maze of thoughts, we’ll find our way,
I’m here to listen, to be your anchor,
In this shared space, we’ll let emotions sway.
With warmth and understanding,
