finding joy
Stand tall. You're going to have stones cast at your knees the moment you begin to walk. Let them pelt. Let your soles squelch, ask for no help as you wade through your own blood. They will call it a weakness. They will convince you, you are of demons and monsters, deacons will prosper from the misfortune that leads your people to tides. No one will tell you it's okay to cry as tides threaten to spill from your deep...deep brown eyes. Surrounding those pupils are pearls even if they seem dark. You are not darkness.

Sleepy

Youniverse
Let breezes run through you. Let sunlight illuminate all that you are and everything you can be. Move in self governing strides to entice the gaze of skies, make the clouds watch you.
