Doors

To be accepted and loved 

For exactly who you are

Feels so rare and strange

It takes a second, or 40,000, to accept it.

And then it’s like a door,

You never knew existed,

Has been unlocked,

With a key you never knew it needed,

And you’re flying. 

You’re soaring and sobbing and scared

And it’s freeing and beautiful and terrifying

And a million more emotions,

That you didn’t even know existed.

I say fuck it

Fly. Fly into the currents

And feel the good as it swallows you whole

Having faith that should you fall 

You have stood back up 

Every other time before

And you most certainly will stand up again.
