on your head, the golden crown is like a halo ring of fire

the light in your eyes softens the hard edges

of the world. a hard fire that burns bright

covering the world’s dark heart in red gold showing that in this ugly world, there is beauty there is kindness

and with you, darling beside me I can feel like I can do anything that I can conquer and defy fate itself

that I can reach for the stars

there’s nothing impossible with you

and when the fears are strongest and I am frozen in breath - powerless and small

when the earth beneath my feet staggers and I feel like I am falling

darling, you are the forces that pulses in my heart the power in my bones as I pick my self and push forward

reminding me that I am strong, reminding I can do it

that despite everything

i can be free

i can be loved

i can fight for my happiness

i can kiss you,

hold your warmth and

love you

that despite everything —

I AM WORTH IT.
