Don’t let them tame you.
Be the chaos that burns,
the wild heart with unruly strings,
the passion without a name,
the flames that cannot be contained.
Don’t let them settle your spirit.
Be the whole forest,
branching out from one small seed,
the quiet noise of birds taking flight,
the wind applauding the wings,
the trees that know they’re not alone,
the birds always come back home.
Don’t let them change you.
Be the river.
The way it breaks and bends,
but never loses sight
of where it’s going
and when it gets there,
it spills itself
into something bigger
but still feels worthy of being there
and the ocean thanks it
for the grace of every ripple,
carries it with the waves
to proves that it matters.
And the river always knew.
The river always knew,
same as you.
