You

By Rita Lopez

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,
