Dragonhearts

by Nikita Gill

There is nothing about you that must fit into a mold,

You are simply doing what all galaxies are inclined to do. You are shattering the thing that holds you in. Remember that.

build your own castle from the ash & bone of all those who told you there were limits to what your hands could do.

Your scars are a warning to all future monsters of the hell you have survived before them,

I will not give up the flowers in my heart for stones just because the world is a hard place. The world is only hard because it needs more flower-hearted people.

who said you can’t wear a flower crown & still remain a fearsome thing?

some people make the mistake of spending their lives waiting for other people to celebrate their victories, so they never end up celebrating them at all. don’t wait for anyone to decide that you’re enough.

You hurt. You ache. You throb. You cleanse. You purify. You heal.
