The Gods Tremble at Quiet Strength
I know you best when you are flowers in the barrels of rifles.
I know you best when you are brave.
I know you when your strength comes from your compassion and when your greatest fear, is that you have not been compassionate enough.
I know you when you look at others not as others but as people you might have been, as people your parents might have been, as people your children might still be.
I know you and I see you when you stand up.
I know you and I see you when they tell you to be afraid, to hate, to go away from the world, to go away from each other. I know you and I see you when they scream storms at you, when they bury you beneath mountains, when they drown you in oceans, when they push you under and yet still you whisper from the deepest part of you:
“No.”
And when you do, I look at you and I say, “There you are.
I know you.
Iain S. Thomas, I Wrote This For You

Never apologize for how you feel. No one can control how they feel. The sun doesn’t apologize for being the sun. The rain doesn’t say sorry for falling. Feelings just are.

I keep wondering, how many people do you need to be, before you can become yourself.

A web weaving of codependency plsss
'To death do us part' in the most literal sense
... I hope you weren't wanting something more romantic, aha. 'This is not a love poem' and all that.

I understand that you care. I just sometimes feel that the people who know me best, are people I’ve never met.
