Here I Go: Wrecking Ball

Scream at the top of your lungs that you're beautiful.
Don't you know it's true?

These days the stars are spotlights shining down on you, so think fast - the camera's rolling. You don't want to play a cameo in your so-called movie. Stop sinking away from the sun. Pull your shades down and revel in the light. 

You're amazing kid.

Old regrets die hard. The people who stayed true to you never leave your heart and when you disappoint them the world feels like a snow flake teetering  on its melting point. It could all collapse so easily. The unique liquifying back into that oh so common sheep-like state.

We're all the same.
We're all so very different.

Telescope yourself into the future and see who you'll become. It's not as far away as you think. The things you're thinking now are the actions you're doing tomorrow, so careful now.

One of these days my words will make me move in ways that you didn't think possible. I'll shake myself into a frenzy that'll cause the earth to quake. Cause there are towers that need toppling and walls that need demolishing.

You are what you think and right now I'm a red pair of wings that's taking me above the sky. You can't pull me down. 

(I'm defying gravity.)

You Are The World

All of those faces
And you are one of them
(And still you are them all)

Times come and past
These too are you
So many pairs of eyes
Looking and seeing and being seen
And you are those too
(One pair and in one all)

Sounds and places

The blue hue of the sky

The way night sets on fast,
The brief glow of a firefly
The violence of a hurricane
And the alarming quickness of fire
These too are you.


The view from a mountaintop,

The course a stream takes,
The yellowing of leaves in fall,

All of this is you

And is in you.

The breath in your lungs

The dirt under your fingernails

This is you;
you are the world.
