Life is for the
living
and you,
my dear,
are very much
alive.

You move through your
days with
music
of your
own.
At times,
you sway to a slow rhythm,
dancing
gently.
At times, you dance
to  the beating of
a
heavy heart.

Always humming
a new song
everyday,
there are no replays.
You always yearn for
more.

You extend your
roots
in the way of
growth.
You are fire to
flames.
Your spark glows
in the face of the
universe.

You are a constellation,
a star full of
stars,
your body full of
light.
I find warmth and comfort
within.

Always unafraid of the lack of
bodies
around you,
you are content on your own
unlike many others.
Your heat comes from your
soul.

You are a
force of nature,
an unstoppable
wave,
I’ve forgotten what it’s like
to not have you
in my life.

Might suffice trying to trap
you,
and if lucky,
she’ll dance and spin
around your
finger
but you can’t wrap her
around
your cracked skin.
————————————————
You come to her with
no love,
oh love you
in the deep end.

You are the water she
dips her toes in,
a poised serpent.

Only come with good intentions
because once she
steps down
to
you,
and you feel her
skin
flow into your
mind,
you will be left,
rubbing your eyes,
trying to get her out of your
vision,
like chlorine;
it will sting
and burn
a little.

She  is one of a kind,
a mind of
a million minds,
confined into a diamond.

Elegance,
class,
a crowned queen,
she only moves with the
grace
of a thousand
wonders.

She is magnificence
personified
and if you ever think you’ve
escaped her,
then you’ve
lost.

the only reason
i am able to see
the
beauty
in this
horrifying
world,

in the heaviest
pains
the aching
times,

is because i know
i am always surrounded by
your
overflowing
abundant
love.

and i hope you know
that
nothing
can
stop me from caring
about
you

because my love
for you
goes past
infinite.

You
I want you to love yourself
Endlessly
Unconditionally
Thoroughly
and
Wholly.

I want you to find peace
In the small things
and in the
World around you
No matter how conflicting
It may be.

I want you to survive
Like many others
Before you
Like many know
You’re capable of.

You are born to be a
Role model
A leader.
Battle until your skin
Is evidenced with battle scars
By then,
the world will be
Yours.

Fall in love with your
inner universe
the way your heart beats
Rhythmically
like a melody
in the Dark
Perplexing
but always
Victorious

The rivers of
Pure gold
Run through your veins
Humming through every inch
of your delicate
Impeccable body

Fall in love with being alive
Fall in love with being you
because there is power
in your
Perspective.

Know the world is yours.

Fall in love with living
Your life will not be defined
By those  who have not lived it
By those who do not know the depth of the honor
that comes with knowing
You.

And on days where you forget how to love,
Go outside
Watch the sunflowers
Facing the sun,
How the rain  trickles
down your body.
Let it nourish you,
help you
Thrive.

Watch how the sun
Kisses your cheekbones
Down your neck
whispering into your collarbone
and into your skin.
Absorb the light
And then become it.

Never become another mans
world.
You were born with fire and ice inside of
you.
Never let him tame the
flames
Instead,
let them burn
hotter,
brighter.

You are the daughter of the sun.
Radiate and shine
Extend your rays to those who
Deserve it
Let them spread,
disperse into a source of energy.

And if he’s not blinded by the
light,
by the sharp glow of your
skin,
then let him in.
Maybe he’ll be the
one.

Or maybe he’ll be a lesson.
Just know that with
or without him,
you will grow.
Thrive.
Flourish.
Succeed.

And on days that feel
pointless,
worthless,

There will be sunrises that save you
Sunsets that remind you
It will end beautifully.

i wish you saw the
beauty
the world sees within
you

you are like the ocean
full of countless
mysteries
and emotions that soar high
like tidal waves

yet your tranquility
can calm
any
storm
even the one within
me
Cassidy Nov 2019
seeing you
makes me
miss you
more.

A painful tear
leaks from my eye,
It screams a
terrible sound,
A sound so loud but
unheard from all,
It flows down
my cheek and seeps
into the ground,
Help him
I cry
He wants to
Did

But I carry on watching
Through the window
As no one
Stops him
And with an
Ear piercing scream
I wake up

And realize
My dream
Was
Reality

Us
We are the ones who can be
hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the
movie theater
because the ending scene made us
cry
We'll stop to smell the sunflowers
because they deserve to be
appreciated
We are the ones who call you at night
to help you work through whatever’s keeping you up
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us
love

We are the ones who will
love you more
than we love
ourselves sometimes
We will give you our
best
in hopes that we can
make things better
We want to see you become
the best version of yourself
to make sure that
you always feel our love
We crave
affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away
every day
sometimes to people who
don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take
advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we
give away

When we hurt,
we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves
back together
We are more fragile than
we like to admit
We carry our emotions on our
sleeves
Our flaws have the
ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the
world
but we are afraid to
feel unloved
We want you to see
what we see
We want you to understand
where we're coming from

We are good people with
good intentions
We are stronger than we
seem
Not everyone can feel the way we
feel
We feel too much,
too often
We are not hard to
love
We are something not everyone knows
how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth
does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you

You are not any less
lovable
You are the
most
lovable person in the world
You are a light that the
world needs
Your kindness is
not your weakness
You do not need to
change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to
stop giving love
just because you
don't get it back
Your heart is the
best
thing about you

And one day
when you least expect it
someone will notice you
from across the room
and know
exactly
how to love you
They will think
all of these things are
beautiful
They will deserve the love
you can give
They will fill the empty space
in your heart
But for now,
don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything

so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love

You are exactly who you are supposed to
be.
