Neon Soul

one day you’ll wake up
and everything will feel
different.
unlike it did before.
and you’ll realize nothing, no matter
how you tilt it, will ever look the same.

Perhaps they figured I didn’t need my vibrancy anymore because, well, I had found it. But I do need it because life without neon is dull.

and wake up thinking

how nana’s hands were

the softest hands in the world.

mistakes are water―grow your

lessons from them.

make art with the mess
from your heart
on the floor.

unhappiness is loud.
and it can shatter every
bit of silence that gets
in the way
if you let it.

learning how to unlove you
was the very best part.

don’t forget to stop
and see and listen
and love. because
one day this will
all be gone and so
will we.

trust yourself enough
to let go and live even
when it’s the most
uncomfortable thing
to bear.

being okay is sometimes
the scariest part because
then we have no place to
hide our fear.
