Safe

I am the crying you’ve shoved down

I am the permission slip:

you can let it out now

I am the support they wouldn’t give.

I am the words you are told not to say

I encourage you, do it anyways

I am the fan on your flames of rage

I am empathy with no name

I am a place devoid of shame.

You don’t have to put on a face

With Me

You don’t have to be fake

With Me

I won’t use your weakness against you

Because I see them as strengths.
