I am the grief in your belly

by Amy Wright Glenn 

I am the grief in your belly
This is what I want you to know

Know that I love you, I love you, I love you

I love all you have loved and lost and are losing
That is why I hurt

I hurt
I hurt

I hurt because it is hard to release what I don’t want to let go

I am the grief in your belly
This is what I want you to know

I’m sad you are afraid of your power, I’m sad you push me down
I’m sad you hated me for so long

I want to protect you
To fight for you
To make you see that you are angry

You can be angry, you should be

And I am the grief in your belly
This is what I want you to know

To know
To know

This is what I want you to know

Stop fighting me

I am not your enemy

I am the hurt
that longs to be welcomed home
