you are
allowed to be
a many-layered thing…
to have texture and shades.
to be kissed by the sunlight
and bitten by the moon
and to feel all the different ways
that you feel,
all the raw and tender mess of it all.
to let all of that shadow and sugar be in you
and the pretty and dirty and beautiful and wild
run through you and spill out of you
everywhere, all at once…
to just let yourself be a
soft and wild thing.

and still lets everything made of fire
run so wild in her veins

in wild creativity and glow.
and burn and breathe at once in our skin.
out of our lungs.
pouring the aches from our chests.
with our wings wide open.

close to you,
it has to be destiny-colored
and deep. souled.
there is too much gold in that skin
for anything but sure hands
to touch it.
there is too. much. fire. in that chest…
they’ve got to dance with your wildness
and play in your beautiful mess
and drip wild poetry on your lips
with their kiss.
if it comes close to you,
it has to feel like this.
nothing less.

you can no longer stay small.
and it’s ok to take
small steps and deep breaths, love,
but you also have to learn to take up
your own space. and to not say you’re sorry
when you do. and you’re going to be rejected
for these wings you’re growing and these
fires you’re starting… but these are such.
beautiful. things. they are a sweet
and wild rebellion in you.
and you have to keep choosing you.
because nothing will matter if you reject you.
so if something needs you small… you just
can’t let it hold you still anymore.
