write something
find the words that stick to you
and tear them from your flesh
let your mind start the first line
and let your heart do the rest
write about the ocean
and about how your life is compiled
of waves of emotion
write about birds in the sky
and about all the places
you'd go if you could fly
write about love
and about all the boys
you've ever felt unworthy of
write about the warmth you feel
and about all the things you believe
even when you're told it isn't real
write about anything,
but most importantly
always write about yourself
because the path to self-discovery
is the most important book on the shelf

and about how your life is compiled

and about all the places
you'd go if you could fly
write about love
and about all the boys
you've ever felt unworthy of
write about the warmth you feel
and about all the things you believe
even when you're told it isn't real
write about anything,
but most importantly
always write about yourself
because the path to self-discovery
is the most important book on the shelf
