    Blythe Baird may possibly be my favorite poet of all time. Every poem of hers resonates with me so much.

    I want to be friends with her. not because I want to trauma bond, but because outside of the horrors she endures she is a light. she is so supportive and bubbly and very outspoken. she’s the kind of friend you want to go to because she will validate your feelings and make you feel heard. she’s is very knowledgeable and she is powerful. I love her so much. I’m watching and hearing all her poems again tonight and I feel safe.

    “I am trying to sleep on the front porch of forgiveness. I am too young to be this lonely. Still, do not mistake all of my honest open for empty. I didn’t leave the door of my love unlocked so you could mistake my sadness for a shelf. I do not have room to carry anyone’s chaos but my own. If I sink, it will be in my own ocean. If I float, it will be on the ship I built with my own hands.” •• THE SHIP I BUILT by Blythe Baird

    Blythe, you share the same last name as an ex.. I still come here and listen to you even though every time I see your name I'm reminded of the last day I spent with him living in an industrial complex above a place where they made cement things like fireplaces, being on the ground and kicked.. I'm still here though. Words are powerful
