Love Letters to Lost Souls

Sarah Wood

Upon whose bones do you intend to build your paradise

your divinity is not found in any book. your divinity comes from within. you have something they could never destroy

To this day you fall for people who want to give you their woundedness, not their kindness or care. a part of you still believes that only the wounded can see the shadows you keep in the hidden compartment of your soul, and thats why you've made yourself so good at loving the wounded. when will you learn? they come to be seen but not to see. 

It is joy to be hidden, but disaster not to be found

within healer and helper, there is warrior, there is priestess, there is holy whore

there is knowledge in your bones about what it means to become

...because helping and holding and listening and caring were the only times we felt we knew what we were doing, even though we had no idea. because that was the way other people loved us. because, maybe, we thought in our secret hearts, that's all we were good for...
