you don't have to cry. not today, not tonight. you are a soul carved from the finest of silk and a body built off of broken pieces and connecting points. I dare you to burn your gaze through mine and convince me that you will not fit within your own body. I dare you to free yourself of your shadows and seek beauty amongst the flower fields that glow with life. I dare you to trace your own reflection in your mirror and remind yourself that with opression comes freedom, with hardship, there is relief. envelope yourself in your love, and let your eyelashes wipe away your tears. let your smile brighten up your day and let your lungs sing a harmony with the deep breaths you take to fight off your fears.

you can't make fire feel afraid. you cannot be mass destruction when you bring forth with you light. you cannot freeze when you've licked across the water's surface; the only loss is in not trying.

you can be everyone you want to be, or be one person. caterpillar or butterfly, you are an imperfect soul with beauty that shovels past the surface.
