if you look within
you’ll see what could be
forget the pretty faces
those are easy cases
let’s instead appreciate your vase
the one you fill with space
hidden in disgrace
mustn’t you look a trace
for it might scare away
a certain someone you’re asking for grace
but at the end of the day
you’re better off hugging back
your own embrace

oxygen masks taunt you
saying what’s scarier
haven’t you known
most artists are messy and rough
you have a long way to go
so just believe and achieve

nothing can tell me
what i should do
can do or can’t do
i want to breathe Earth’s untouched air
and climb the steepest mountain
i know it isn’t impossible
and lastly
i want to be myself
and love myself for it
and continue doing what makes me happy

primrose showers in mid July
showing up like this day is your day
to be your greatest self
loving the moments shared
all day, everyday
being free to be you
and only you

reflection, reflection
on the wall
whose the dullest of them all?
long faced and faded
loved but hated
pain, rain
go away
hide your face
discreet, strangely out of place
where are you, Chase?
are you mad at your race?
ashes, ashes
find your place
don’t be discouraged
don't be late
settle in your fate

you gentle soul
smooth creature
the one who loves through grace
and moves unapologetically
i love you especially
