eighteen

your aura is incredible
if you don't have to go- don't

I'm completely blindsided
but welcome more, if you please

my lower lip my not last for much longer
and I am sure that my cheeks will burn off

but I know that my smile is real, genuine- painless
And I can feel the light shining from my eyes

All that passion for life- tapped
And ready to explode

I'm still in shock
Trying to figure it all out

And then remind myself
It doesn't really matter

(except to say, thanks-
for seeing what I thought was gone.)
