you aren’t worth it
my pain
my tears
my thoughts

Listen
Listen to the way of the wind
Listen to the laughter in the streets
Listen to thump of your heart
It’s all alive
The whirl of the wind is alive
The laughter of the kids is alive
And you are alive
You have a voice
And I’m here to listen

Speak
       Life
            Into
               Yourself
      You’re
                More
                     Delicate
                             Than
                                     You
                                        Think

Flocks of birds
Across the morning sky
Tell me
I’m not in the city any more.
