Permanence

Gentle child, darling girl,

you are so much more than enough.

I hope you wear bubblegum chapstick like war paint

break a few hearts

and stay up past your bedtime.

be reckless and make mistakes and never look back

cry it out and scream into the darkness until your lungs ache

laugh too hard at dumb shit and love unapologeticaly

be strong and fierce and imperfect.

claw your name into the fabric of the universe.

don't let them forget you.
