Shine
Even after all of this,
The ache in the soul
The stitches in the heart
The doubt in the bones
The chaos of the universe,
You are still here.
HERE.
Standing on weary legs
Breathing with corrupted lungs
Watching with tired eyes
Building with bruised hands
YOU.
Each time the sun rises,
Each time the moon lights darkness
Each time a star falls from the sky
You become more you,
Than you have ever been.
Without their hands holding you
Without their love saving you
Without their words molding you
Because after all of this,
You are exactly where you should be
From one moment to the next,
You do exist,
That by far, is the most stunning part.
Do not forget, the crown does not make a queen
Do not forget, the power does not make a goddess
Do not forget, the cunning does not make the raven
Do not forget
Forget.
All the lies they filled your veins with
All the fear that dances in your heart
All the chains they burned your soul with
Because, even after all of this
You move forward, never to look back
Don't look back.
For you are the flame in your own darkness
Shine. Shine. Shine.
Always and forever
You will shine.
