these cold white floors
are never enough
to mirror the purity of your heart
or to capture your hands' warmth
the intricacy weaved on your clothes
and patterns drawn by your feet
can never compare to
the dancing heart you wear on your sleeve
so don't look down
every time you fall
but hold on to their arms
and firm words and calls
to yourself, you're imperfect
to me, you're emboldened:
you don't need to win gold
when you're already golden
