Today

7.7.16

One day, I'll wake up and...
I'll be that child who isn't afraid
Of learning from countless mistakes.
Or getting lost in their hopes.
Or loving, because they can.
Or catching bugs in the palm of their hands.
Or falling without a net beneath them.
One day, I'll wake up and....
I'll be the child who looks for the puddles after a stormy day,
getting their whitest clothes filthy,
stains and scars all across their body.

One day, I'll wake up.
To the bluest sky my eyes have ever laid eyes on.
To the broken pieces
that have finally found themselves
right where they belong.
To the child in the mirror who faced her greatest fear.
One day, I'll wake up.
To another chapter in a different book.
To my greenest side.
To a peaceful mind.

Today, I woke up.
