    In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?

    I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
    I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
    I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
    and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

    here is the deepest secret nobody knows
    (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
    higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
    and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

    I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

    Fighting your inner demons,
    Fighting that inner war.
    Not knowing what’s wrong or right.
    Asking yourself, “How much more?”

    How many more endless questions?
    How many more sleepless nights?
    How much more can I take,
    Of life and it’s enternal fight?

    Trying to heal your pain.
    Somehow you can break the broken.
    People come but never stay.
    No one listens to what you’ve spoken.

    Love. Trust. Safety. Hope.
    It’s gone and fled away.
    You have nothing left to your name,
    But the scars that always stay.

    Inferiorty. This is all you feel.
    No matter what you do,
    You’re never good enough.
    And no one has a clue.

    No one knows,
    How you tear yourself apart.
    They don’t know
    About your abused heart.

    They’ll never understand
    The hate for yourself.
    They’ll never see
    Your mental health.

    You want to believe.
    Believe you’re worth something.
    Believe you’re a good person.
    Believe you’re worth loving.

    But the louder voice denies this.
    It tells you no one cares.
    That you’re a terrible person.
    All you’re doing is wasting air.

    Inner demons, inner war.
    I’m in the middle of it all.
    Pulling myself together,
    Knowing all I’ll do is fall.

    I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come ‘round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you’ve just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    “more
