outside.

welcome inside my journal:

what would come of placing ourselves outside of the comfortable?
outside of the black and white - straight and narrow.
outside of the blame we've tacked on others.
outside of guilt and beyond shame.
outside of the baggage we've carried here.
outside of you and me.
outside of the memories we would rather rid ourselves of.
outside of our own judgements cast in light of our skewed view of others.


perhaps we would find reason to love.
perhaps we would find truth in knowing we are loved.
perhaps that would be enough.
enough for a heart to rest.
to stop fighting a battle that cannot be won alone.
and allow love to consume where it was one thought to be vacant.

bring me outside of myself that i would live with reason to love.
