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.
