Define Your Grind

Sharon Olds, from "Something Is Happening", One Secret Thing: Poems

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.

“I loved you in a way I wished someone would love me.”

— Mahmdou Darwish

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.” – Capt. Jean-Luc Picard | 507x507

archaeology

penance comes in many forms

indistinguishable to a muddled mind

thoughts laced with egregious apathy

perhaps unprepared to weather life’s storms

{}

take heart, young one, look up and breathe

this invisible wonderment is for all that seek

your worth is not derived from gravity or time herself

let your hands dig through soft soil to uncover the seeds underneath

{}

be still, darling, your shell is your own

she will protect and guide you for as long as you roam

treat her kindly, she’s all that you have 

reach up and stretch your skin, you’ve found your backbone

Erika L. Sánchez, from "Prodigal Daughter"
