Five

Five steps forward 

One 
Sing your own lullabies
There are more stars in your eyes 
Than in the city sky

Two 
Find your own path
Follow the rain
All the way to the sea

Three 
Paint your own portraits
Tint your blood with glitter
And swirl sunshine over your tongue

Four
Dance to your own drums
Allow your feet
To draw patterns over your tearstains

Five 
Lose yourself in you
Become your own muse
And give a little back to your reflection
