Soft sunlight
Warming our bodies
Cold from the long night
We stand up
Shaking the dew from the morning's melt off of our fur
We leap into the wildflowers
Running along the river,
Flowing at an easy pace.
We are carefree,
You will be, too,
If you let your mind wander to such a faraway place that seems so
Impossible
You can reach this
You can climb to this height of living
Of existence
It just takes effort
Perseverance
Hope
To reach your safe haven.
It's December already
I've been alive for over thirteen years
over thirteen years of learning and growing
making mistakes and accomplishing feats
of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself
Your new-ish house
your dog sleeping on the rug
my family and your family chatting comfortably
your kitchen with your hot chocolate
the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island
that's one of my happy places
When we see flaws in ourselves
we withdraw from society
curl in on ourselves
trying to hide from our insecurities.
The thing is
people struggle to understand
that their faults are a part of themselves
