fifteen years young, sat on the bus burnt oranges, humid plastic seats, jolting and rattling with every bump in the sweltering pavement told a stranger I wanted to be extraordinary someday he laughed, ordinary is better, he said, I sat confused this is extraordinary, he told me, pointed to my smile, I didn't understand all I ever wanted was to build cathedrals that stretched for miles and miles and light fires on everything bad in this world, give a piece of my heart to the sky, create fireworks that echoed back in the reflection of every curious eye, I stood before the crowds for too long alone I couldn't see past my wistfulness the walls started crumbling and the fires spread to the good parts and my heart couldn't handle the feeling of being so alive not fifteen anymore, I sit on the bus, still jolting and rattling down the road, I realize it now those trees stretching to the clouds are cathedrals and lighting fires isn't as effective as a single kind heart, my heart sustained from above, curious eyes have a need to be fixed on something much greater ordinary is extraordinary, your smile, especially you just have to look harder, I hope you'll see it too
