There’s not a thing you left

There’s not a piece of my heart left to be broken
There’s not a piece of my mind left to be perplexed
There’s not a drop of tear left for me to shed
There’s not a tinge of pain left for me to feel
There’s not a sorrow left for me to know
There’s not a rejection left for me to accept
There’s not a betrayal left for me to discover

There’s not a nudge left for me to wait for
before I shatter into pieces
There’s not a single negativity you spared me from
And
There’s not an antidote left with you to heal me.

TO MY 19-YEAR-OLD SELF


TO MY 19-YEAR-OLD SELF


don't quit
life ahead of you is beautiful
don't quit
you've grown a beautiful woman
don't quit
you became stronger than you hoped
don't quit
your career is at its best
don't quit
your dreams are coming true
don't quit
your family is happy and content
don't quit
you have been a blessing to many
don't quit
your life is significantly lived
don't quit
your heart is whole and well
don't quit
things couldn't have happened otherwise


your 25-year-old self would not be this beautiful if you quit now.
