locutions [poetry]

s m i l e

an open letter to the confused, lonely and bruised;

your smile can light up a thousand street lights, your voice can inspire.
your autonomy is not a weakness, your desire is not a burden.

your scars they'll fade,
they will make you brave,
you're never alone,
you will never be alone.

you're healing, and soon you'll be ready, to conquer, to live but never to boast. your dreams, your experiences are gold.

don't worry,
nothing is ever too late,
not everything will be the same,
but trust me when I say,
everything will be okay.
