just being me

just being me

i awake. open my eyes. blood

courses through my veins.

oxygen fills my lungs. my head

thinks thoughts + heart chases

wisdom. my arms wrap around

life + lips say "you matter" + "i

love you". when pain comes, i

heal + when joy comes, i clap my

hands. when the sun goes down i

say "thank you" + melt back into

another evening of dreams.

this is epic enough for me.
