Home Sweet Home

There is a voice on the inside of me—
small, scared, scarred, hesitant, 
dense and dripping with doubt. 

This voice stands on the shore 
of smallness, barks its warnings, 
believes in the lies of lack, 

tracks every failure, 
doesn’t know a thing 
about rest or deep breaths. And

there is another voice—
sure, steady, so big-sky big
she can hold anything—

lantern. Lighthouse. North star.
Forever ushering
me home. 

I lean into this bigness now, 
free fall into 
her open arms.

My warrior. My wings.
My true self. 
My shelter.

My home sweet home.
