"Love a girl who writes,
and live her many lives;
you have yet to find her,
beneath her words of guise."


My darling,

don’t let them get you down.
Don’t let their hate,

darken your dawn.

My dear,

don’t let them make you feel small.
Don’t let their narrow minds,

hold you back.

My darling,

you are more than your body.
You are more than

their molds for you.

My dear,

you are more than your mistakes.
You are more than

the shadow that clings to you heels.

My darling,

you are the force that makes the sea’s rage.
You are the reason

the stars shine at night.

My dear,

you are the faces in the clouds.
You are the reason

the sun still rises.

I hope to tell this to my own kids one day. I want them to know they aren't small, or unimportant. No one is.
