Secret :: Lightning

I have a secret
It is scary
It is a giant

It was misunderstood
It was criticized
And it was used against me

I tried to control it
I tried to present the best parts

I used it
And I ignored it

Until I broke apart

—

I’ve been in hiding
Healing
Learning to understand it
Learning what it needs
Seeing it for all that it is
And trusting in it

It is magic
It is simple
It is silent
It is bold

It is always there
But only in frames of moments
Can it be seen

It’s a burst of fire
And it’s as vast as air
You can’t catch it
You breathe it in
And then let it go
