i want…
to search. and stretch.
and grow. and glow.
and drip myself in
wild creativity,
and burn and breathe at once
in this skin. in these lungs.
wings untethered,
under the moon,
into the sky,
and to dream big and bigger
and biggest,
and to feel free in here…
inside my anxious chest.
to just. feel. free.
and to have the universe
say… yes, you are worthy of all this.
– butterflies rising
‘you are worthy of all this' is a poem by the author butterflies rising that is derived from her longer poem all this mess inside my head ». Both poems can be found in her poetry book ‘she's flowers and fire'.
