Softness
It took me a world of pain to know the softness of existence
it took a lot of vulnerability
persistence
making peace with these shards of glass
those parts of me so sharp and crass
It took me a lifetime of staring at the ground
to realise the beauty in every sound
the rustling of leaves, the stickiness of a kiss
the song stuck in my head
my own heart beating
reminding me of this moment that is fleeting
reminding me to care.
When I looked up, the sky wasn't always blue
my love was unrequited, my thoughts proved untrue
I took a walk out of my brain
and into the unrelenting rain
to feel sensations other than my mind
forcing me up a steep incline
towards a top that is elusive
almost real but not conclusive.
