stop
two minutes
just stop
it's two minutes
stop overthinking the overthinking of overthinking
have you forgotten that
sunsets are free?
just like hikes
and kisses
and spirits (both kinds).

let yourself breathe, even if it's just a little
listen to the silence
make some noise
your burdens aren't as great as you may think, otherwise you wouldn't be here
so, stop.
be.
wood is burning
and you are still equal parts shrapnel and stardust
