Let go Darlin

Let it Go Darlin 

I'm here as a friend in dark times. 

I've been where you were and I've suffered the onslaughts from within 

Not much casual conversation flows, about the way the mind attacks itself.

I'm weathering your outbursts the way I'm sure the people from your history told you is love.

It isn't love though darlin. It's fear. 

Being loved in any capacity is self understanding; you're receiving a gift. 

Regardless if you think you're worthy of keeping it. 

I know you think that love means comfort and that comfort is only found in chaos.

Yet, darlin, love is patient. It's holding yourself to a better standard and not bruising those who only handed you care. Love isn't knocking people down so you feel like you’re worth being on top. Thinking fighting equates to passion and is proof of deep emotional bond, will only burn you over time from the inside.  Don’t cling to anger because it feels alive, contrasting the numbness you felt you needed before. Anger feels like power but its self destruction. 

There is a perception, beyond the bars you've assembled around yourself

beyond the patterns of time that told you everyone is an enemy

A perception allowing people to be people-and you to be accepted. 

Love is wanting the total and abiding good of another.

That isn't founded in tearing another apart.

It's time to grow past the broken ways of survival

You're free to walk in the ways of peace.

Let people show up for you

You don't have to swipe and slash those asking nothing of you

They're not making demands.

Loving you isn't an assault, it doesn't have to make you a victim. 

They just want your total abiding good.
