changing with the tides

to society:

my whole life i’ve cared too much

what you thought of me

but now i don’t care at all.

to the ones who underestimate themselves:

when you finally break the anchor

and remember how it feels to be free,

you will look back and ask

how you ever doubted yourself

when all along

you carried the strength

in your own two palms

to the quiet ones

who are afraid

of the sound of

their own voices:

write

and your words will

scream from the page.

(and you will be heard.)
