Poetry
is born
of dreams
and reality
coinciding.

I
let the waves
take me back
to the shore.

I used to define myself by how successful I was,
whether it was through stacking accolades,
the praise I receive from others,
or just plain getting what I want.
I don't want to be that kind of person anymore.
Let what I love define me.

You
are my morning song,
and my favorite evening lullaby.
