Dear
cousin—stay young
knowledge
is a burden
that
doesn’t balance well with
Truth
and faith
there
is no way to go back
once
you realize
Trust
must be earned
and
Obedience is mandatory
or
arranged marriage
your
Innocence will chip away
just
by living
so
don’t assist it
you
can’t control what you hear
so
watch what you say
a
Threat, a Lie
whether
you ‘flip the bird’
or
‘bite your thumb’
it
all shapes you
Life
is fast
seconds
drag but hours fly
grab
ribbons of its gown
as
it passes
and
lay them out
because
each of them matters
every
detail is your life
see
how vivid
time
is and focus
on
one Piece
Memorize
it
make
it Yours
because
you still own your own life
a
bead doesn’t have to be itself
it’s
a green ladybug without spots
Don’t
let anyone tell you otherwise
Love
is not what they say it is
keep
handing out
I-love-you’s
like hard candy
love
isn’t made to be reserved
for
one person
give
hugs instead of accusations
because
that’s what the world needs
what
they tell you doesn’t matter
yet
find
a rose
and
name it Romeo
because
You can
you
haven’t discovered
any
importance in names
because
you only see the petals
never
the Thorns
Don’t
decide too quickly
hate
is full of gaps
be
finished before you move on
memorize
the moment
finish
the dance before
learning
his name
hang
on tight before
seeing
the drop
the
world will tell you to ask “why”
before
you even finish hearing the “what”
but
remember
Understanding
is nothing
compared
to Experiencing
You
are still free
ignorance
isn’t bad
knowledge
is a chain
tying
you down to reality
you
can still fly
so
Unfurl your wings
--Megan
