Unravel Myself
If I possessed the raw power needed,
I would destroy every atom from my skin to my core,
If it could possibly make you love me more.
If I was as brave as I am inside my poems,
I would never stop speaking to the ghosts in my head,
Instead of hiding them away under my bed.
If I had the extra weight on my body, not all skin and bones,
I would make you realize that my waists thickness,
Even compared to yours, does not define lack of sickness.
If ever I long again to feel salt fill my lungs,
I will remember the taste of the oceans embrace,
But also compare it to the love for me on your face.
If you ever again doubt your own self worth,
I will be there on the raft I built for two,
With atoms and words and bones and love, for you.
