Beautiful Despair

 

It is not always something

You choose-

To reside in darkness

 

Surely if it were,

 You'd choose something

 Different

 

But there you are

Stuck in your own

Weakness

Your delicate heart

Trying to make sense of

A cruel world

 

And in the middle of

All your chaos,

In the middle of

All your doubt

You have the

Audacity to

Make a person

Laugh

And love

And feel something

 

You have the audacity to

Put yourself

Out there for

All to see

You have the

Audacity to be

You.

 

You.

Authentically you

Beautifully you

Wonderfully

Tragic and

Tortured you.

 

Daring and

Strong and

Silent you.

 

Thank you

For being you

And sharing the

Very best of you

 

We would have

Loved the

Rest of you.

 

 

He

He is calm

He is gentle

But he knows

The price of

Pain

 

He is light

And whimsical

But he feels

The wet of

Rain

 

He is love

He is passion

But he’ll never

Be the

Same

He’s broken

He’s bent

He’s brilliant

And insane
