if this life doesn’t
look like your soul,
keep going.
– butterflies rising

Don’t deny
your fire,
my dear,
just be
who you are
and burn.
– Mark Anthony

I’ll always have
wild hair
and a blunt tongue
clothes scattered about
untamed eyes
and the irresistible
urge to attempt
something beautiful
they tried to box me up
but all they did
was make me more fierce.
– Nausicaa Twila
