North.

"You shouldn't feel so deeply," they say.

"You think with your feelings too often."

But her heart is the only compass she ever knew.

Where other people have blood and bones, she has feelings.

Too much that she caves within herself.

Too deep that she drowns under the waves of emotions she can't find words for.

Even when nobody listens,

she tells her love to the stars, the moon,

to the sea, to the earth.

Unafraid. Unashamed.

Belligerent with love.

Her mouth and eyes close,

But her heart screams to the skies.

Naked.

Alive.

Refusing to hide.
