fourteen

live so much bigger:

-than these four walls and these books with their false ideas and this town and these ink-stained hands and this worried mind and this decaying body. there's life out amongst the the forest as high as the mountains as deep as the sea.
grow like a wild flower and spread like a fire left unattended during a drought.
-than you are because you were meant for something larger than even the earth you tread. go grow and open your arms to the world. receive the sun and rain. open your mouth and speak truth to those who are lied to. close your eyes and grow.
-than the sun and send light from your fingers into the dark world.
-than the darkness.
-than the the classrooms.
-so big that you grow and grow until you become a tree, a mountain, a universe, a giant heart that lives larger because there is something better.
