As Easy As Breathing

poem by: Olivia Fletcher
Written on May 18, 2024

It's peculiar
How healing it can be
To be loved by someone
So unconditionally and deeply

All the ghosts of your past
That tore away at your soul
They made you feel hard to love 
And your heart feel like a hole
 
It's truly beautiful 
The growth you can achieve 
When you're finally loved 
As if it's as easy as breathing

You beautifully capture the healing power of unconditional love. It reflects on how past ghosts and insecurities can make someone feel unworthy of love, yet celebrates the transformative growth that occurs when one experiences love that feels effortless, like breathing. The poem boldly expresses how such love can heal and rebuild, emphasizing its profound ability to mend emotional wounds and empower individuals. It's a poignant reminder of the strength found in being deeply and unconditionally loved.
