Enough for Breath

Описание: https://pupmorningstar.substack.com/p...

I wish every parent who throws their child out on the streets because they are LGBTQIA+ and every parent who abuses a child would be rounded up and locked away so deep they fear running out of air to breath.
No, I am not okay but I am thankful for the universe directing someone to me.

This is dedicated to a stranger that reached out because they needed someone to care about them even for a moment.

To the pup who has struggled,
To the pup who never deserved the life you were given,
To the pup who at least for a moment for life felt that someone cared about them.

I did not save you.
I know that.
I know better than to pretend
I could lift a lifetime
with one voice
on one call.

But I heard the way your breath changed
when you realized
someone was still listening.

You told me about fourteen
about sidewalks learning your name,
about nights that taught your body
to stay awake even when it slept.
About adults who were supposed to guard you
and instead taught youhow to disappear.

I felt the weight of it
move through the line,
felt it settle somewhere behind my ribs
like a stone I did not earn
but could not refuse.

I spoke carefully.
Not like a rescuer.
Not like a fixer.
Just like a humanplacing their hand on the table
and staying there.

And something softened.
Not the pain.
The grip.

You didn’t stop hurting.
But you paused.
And in that pausethere was space enough
for breath.

When the call ended
I stayed sitting in the quiet,
heart still open,
hands empty,
wondering how something so small
could matter so much.

I am carrying hope now
not the loud kind,
not the kind that promises endings
but the kind that says
you are not alone in this moment.

The kind that trembles
because it knows
how easily it could be crushed
and still chooses
to exist.

I helped you stand
for a few minutes
inside a life that has asked you to kneel
for too long.

And that knowing
has changed me.

Because tonight
there is someone sleeping
with a little less weight on their chest,
and someone else
learning how to hold that truth
without breaking.
