No Matter What

I know I'm a lot. Big emotions all over the place.  

I know I ask too much. I cry too much. I feel too much. 

I know I storm when I hurt, letting all the upset out. 

Sometimes I say things I don't mean. Sometimes I say things I mean, but I only mean them for a moment. 

Sometimes when I hurt, I say things meant to hurt. 

I know I have wounds that chew me up inside. 

I know I'm anxious and insecure. 

I know I'm sacred all the time. 

Sometimes hurt makes me lash out. 

Sometimes it makes me shut down. 

Sometimes it makes me run. 

I know I don't want to give up, on you or on me. 

I know it's not easy. 

I know there is always more work to be done.

Sometimes I'm afraid that I go to far. 

Sometimes I'm afraid that you won't forgive me. 

Sometimes when I run I'm afraid you don't want me to come back. 

I know that you are my safe space. 

I know that we are better together.

I know that I will always love you. 

No matter what.
