right here



right here
is where the pain is
so why go somewhere else
to try to help heal
what is abundantly spread
right here?

right here
is where the hope is
so why go to something else
to try to fill the space
that's already being filled
right here?

right here
is where you are
so why go someplace else
to try to find another reality
when you really are made for
right here?

right here
is where you belong
so please don't run from it
let's learn to live in it
live here, live well, live now
right here

  5. Sometimes poetry is to pretty to try and explain in words. So I won't.

    Beautiful.

    One of my favorites so far. Emily.
