welcome sweet ones
streams of sweat
condensed
hiding
aching
brewing
blurred
.
if there are so many of you
to rush out—gushing
why didn’t you come sooner?
.
sweet ones, has no one told you?
.
you don’t have to hide
you don’t have to hold back
stewing—stuck
alone
pushed down
disconnected
.
you can sing
.
your song doesn’t have to be happy
it doesn’t have to be upbeat
we can melt into the shadows
of a heavy melody
finding new depths
new harmonies
make memories
melting
unmasking
free
.
as long as you need
i’m not here for a radio edit
i’m here for every verse
yes
every word
.
you are welcome here
you have space to speak
so tell me sweet ones
what would you like
to have heard?
