“You're too delicate,”
I've been told
Forever escaping
into my head
But I beg to disagree
Daydreaming is not a weakness,
It's a superpower.
Care for some tea?
When the world gets too loud
It's time to play
Last girl in the world
No small talk allowed.
Ah, the bliss of lunch for one.
I am my favorite company
But furry friends are always welcome.
When the world gets too mean,
I don't retaliate,
I dream
I can teleport to wide open spaces,
Play hide and seek
with my shadow
Helloooooo
I can read all day
At my own pace
Put on my favorite dress
Like a bulletproof vest
And wear my hinhin with grace
Just me and my familiar
“Wonder Twin powers, activate!”
When the world spins too fast,
I'll step on the brakes
Celebrate the everyday
And find joy in the little things
Carve out my own space
where I can hear myself
think
When I look in the mirror,
Stripped of anyone else's filters,
Do I like what I see?
I wish I'd known sooner
I'm kinder
to everyone else
When I'm kinder
to me
Note to self:
Embrace my hinhin.
“Dance like nobody's watching,” they say
But you know what?
I'm no longer afraid to be seen
