But I have seen the best of you and the worst of you, and I choose both.
— Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye, “An Origin Story” (via amentaloutlet)
Why do I keep
thinking I can love
the fear out of someone?I want to hold you, help you
fix what feels so unfixable,
but I have to remind myself:even if you offer a hand,
a lifejacket, a boat—
some people don’t want
to be saved, they just
want to drown.
