Poems
Don't Be Scared of Your Own Reflection
Don't be scared of your own reflection.
The shadow you see is yours.
It's:
The girl who feels too much
The girl who thinks too much
The girl who feels the bursting consciousness of everything;
She's a deep feeler.
She absorbs the positivity into her salty bones
and creates room for more internal strength.
This is what defines her,
she holds the world in her hands
and walks as she unfolds her life.
Let no one stop you from loving yourself,
allow beautiful things to happen to you.
