shining knights and shining comets; fight on

haley's comet travels on average, 365 times faster than your nerve signals
so it makes sense that you feel kind of small sometimes but you probably don't feel very slow
three hundred and sixty five days pass faster then we know
and it is easy in a crowded room to feel so alone
but twenty-five billion white blood cells are your knights in shining armor
Your eyelids have shut and rapidly opened 1200 times before breakfast,
blinking to refresh your windows to the world
you are regenerating skin cells and self-mending bones
don't ever feel there is no where left to go
because your body fights for itself, you are a shining comet of your own




You are all strong souls, but you don't have to be strong alone.  If you ever feel there is "no where else to go" please remember there are so many places in this world, people who would love to make you feel at home.

when you are feeling caught up in the tide

Swim Strong
Kick hard
Look Inside
You have had your own guardians all your life

Swim strong
Kick hard
(24 ribs shaped to protect your heart)
You are more beautiful than the sum of every broken part

Swim strong
Kick hard
There’s so much left to do
Squeeze someone’s hand three times
(I, love, you)

Survivors

They wear battle scars

And they don't know how beautiful they are

And society doesn't understand

That it's a fight

With monsters in the mirror

And monsters inside

When your fighting yourself

There's no where to hide

So they wear battle scars

They don't know how beautiful they are

They find relief

In red lines

And I wish it didn't have to hurt

But I'm so glad they are alive

Living and fighting another day

So strong with their battle scars

And I wish each and every one

Would know how beautiful they are

I wish for a world where so many lovely people I know we'rent effected by inner monsters. If you are struggling with self harm, help is out there. http://www.selfinjury.com/ I pray better days are to come for all of you
