You

Look to the future 
You are not alone 

We are so fixated on looks and labels 
That we forget to feel with our soul and to remain our own 

Don’t forget to just live and love when you are thrown off your path 
Don’t settle for the lonliness, darkness & the unknown 

You matter, like with physics or chemistry 
When a substance has mass and takes up space by having volumn, like a stone 

Take up that space 
And let them know you are not going anywhere and that you deserve a place in this world as much as they do, to each their own throne

Remember, you are in control
But if you remain silent and complacent, it will never be shown 

Live your brightest 
Try not to deviate, stay stagnant or postpone 

So don’t give up on yourself 
Be patient, love thy self and try not to disown 

Much love,
