ARIES

you’re brave and insightful and rash
no one can take that away from you
they don’t have the right
and they never will

TAURUS

you’ll exist until the bitter end
stubborn and a survivor
there is nothing in this world that can bring you down
but yourself

GEMINI

you are a storm disguised as a cloudy evening
the comedic and tragic masks of theater
in a universe where the inhabitants are boring
you are a bright light

CANCER

i’m sorry for the rupture
in your peaceful, loving home
i’m sorry for the shattering of a safe world
i’m proud that you are the only one strong enough to put it back together now

LEO

your exuberance is legendary
be aware
be alive
they cannot steal your radiance

VIRGO

a keen mind
lovely lips forming words of holy prayers to peace
you were robbed
but they cannot take your grace, my love

LIBRA

you tried your best
you are not bad for doing what it right to recover
you deserve it
you need help as much as everyone else does

SCORPIO

silent as a statue
you bear it all with stoic, strong shoulders
it is okay to cry
recovery is not weakness

SAGITTARIUS

i trust your poetry and drive
i trust your strength and capability
one day there will be a time for you to trust that too
just wait

CAPRICORN

after a lifetime of shouldering other people’s problems
know that that is a good thing
but self-care is a good thing too
and there is a peace in balance

AQUARIUS

let your sympathy go
they don’t deserve it after what they did to you
you can make yourself the priority now
i give you permission

PISCES

it is not your fault
you were not weak or stupid
you have a big heart
and I’m proud of you for it
