I don’t like being messy.
Emotional
Hurting
Unsure
Unaware
But no one does. No one likes it.
And yet WE ALL ARE at times.
We all HAVE TO BE at times.
And it’s ok.
Because being messy
is being ME
it’s being real
not an artificial robot
always on top of things
ahead of the curve
having it all together
the strong one
filled with cliches
I must remember
being strong
can be messy
sometimes too
I can be both
brave and scared
sad and hopeful
strong and messy
And the reality
is that
in order to
be strong
I have to be
allow myself to be messy
even when I don’t like it.
