In the liquid of these eyes Dreams don't drown In the turbulence of the wind Or the raging storms Stars don't shake or fall The scars on that beneath your breast Have chiseled you to the amazing piece that you now are Believe me, my darling Time has a story to tell you Listen with patience Look closely You're still alive You still exist There's still life in your every breath Look closely into the ashes There's still a flicker of an ember Blow it and light it up Even if you've lost so many times You haven't forgotten how to fight Look closely honey Even on headstrong roads Your chaffed feet still remember how to walk Even with ironclad rules and norms Your heart is still a rebel Be You! Be You!! You can do it! You are enough You are amazing You will succeed So, Shine that light ©_HerOutspokenMind||LookClosely

I wrote this for myself, as a mantra for days I feel like giving up
