LB writes the following about her poem titled "Undreakable" "I actually write songs mostly and it's really cathartic for me to get things out when I'm going through something. When I read them over sometimes they sound so sad or mad or defeated that I want to give myself a hug. but it's just what I'm feeling at that moment and I let myself feel it so that I can try to let it go, or figure it out or at least get it off my chest. Even when I know it doesn't make sense or if I don't really feel that way entirely, sometimes I just need to let myself be emotional and even irrational. I'm kind of hot and cold in the sense that sometimes I'm numb and other times I feel too much. It's a sad poem, but if it helps someone to relate and feel less alone in their feelings or experience that would be awesome." Unbreakable If only I could find a way To bear the cruel things that you say Your words would be the one to break Each cutting sound your quick tongue makes Those scattered pieces that you’d see Would be your broken words, not me If I could find the words to speak Or find a way to be less weak If I could try to love myself Enough to not need anyone else Maybe I wouldn’t be such a fool To think that you could love me too To think that you might try to find Some way to not be so unkind If I could see myself for me Instead of what you seem to see Until I find a love that’s capable Dear God, just please make me unbreakable by LB Thank you LB for inspiring us all with your words, and reminding us that we are are so much more alike than we think :) |
