Your heart aches as it should

What a catastrophe

When the world doesn't know all

When they don't see the stars

Like you

You can't convince

And you can't persuade.


How debilitating it is to see the world burn

To have the cures

And have no choice but to stand idle

Know which way to go

And watch everyone run the opposite way

Full speed

How do you tell someone their limbs are falling off

When they feel nothing

When their sight doesn't work

And their hearing gave out


Oh sweet girl

Why are you here

Where did you get mixed up

This wasn't supposed to be where you landed

You were supposed to be amongst the stars

Beyond the moon

Farther than the planets.


Your light was supposed to be matched

Amongst the brightest realms

Traveling alongside meteors.

Exploding comets

So again

What are you doing here.


In a place that can't comprehend your sparkle

Doesn't know what a real ignite is

Oh sweet girl.

I'm sorry you have to be here

Have to watch this happen to you

Have to feel this

But you've always known you don't belong

Always had that power

Always seen beyond


Embrace it.

Take it head on and don't succumb

Don't let the darkness in

Don't let it dim you

You're a force that doesn't belong and for that

I'm sorry.

But you know all truths

You know all hearts

You're not someone who touches a life

You're someone who generates it.


You put the fuel back into souls

Give the resilience

The capacity

The warmth

To not give up

To see the next steps.

Not on the surface

Deep in their core

In the darkest of places

They will never know exist


You create a twinkle

And when they feel able

And strong

They go

And sweet girl

I'm sorry.


I'm sorry you're not a stranger to being left

To this sorrow

Know you're more than how they make you feel

How they make you think

You know you haunt their minds

linger in their thoughts

In their walls

their ears.


The more they act like you don't

Is their fight to keep you out

Keep you away

They can't escape it

They try to run

They'll try to it hide too


Oh sweet girl

The humble edge you bring

Is nice

But not real

What's real is the dreams they will inevitably lose

The absence they will feel

Once the thrill

The excitement

And reality creeps in


You can't keep a force of nature out

It exists everywhere

It seeps


So sweet girl

I'm sorry this is your pain

But don't change

Because this world needs you

For some reason you're here

Nobody will ever be able to let you go

You were meant to be bigger than this life

I know you feel it

I know you see it


So sweet girl

I'm sorry.
