These two songs have been my heart beat lately. How wonderful to have a song that captures a single moment and yet it still dives deeper to reveal desires in your heart you're still working on.

Beautiful things
are indeed
messy
like tufts of flowers
stuck here and there
if you looked closely
would you see the care
the intentionality
the melody
and harmony alike
but like a strike
mess
is pressed
against the flowers
It's letters
burning
a hole
some of the beauty
stolen
and charred
growth
barred
heart scarred
and so those things just wait
for a special date
of hope
of a day
of not having to cope
but being able to release
please, I pray
and each day
there is a new way
until
BAM
here I am
in the middle of the mess
medicine to the test
realizing the complexity
of things in me
the mess all along
has been so incredibly strong
and though I see the beauty
in a twisting and twirling tree
and admire it with glee
my own twists and turns
made me yearn
for straightness
for a mind
that would find
a task
and do it
without getting lost in
after
and through it
and so
the invisible new friend
reared its head
but not out of anger
but confusion
what is it you've said?
I have what?
are you sure?
the cure?
counseling
coaches
prescriptions
and more
and like a door
hope walks in
with a big grin
saying see
there's nothing wrong with me
this is normal
and it is hard
so lets pick up this shard
this burnt mess
and call it blessed
give it water and help it grow
and help others to know
I have ADHD
and I am thankful
and I am blessed
because I am me.
