Don't let the rhythm
inside you die
like a dead eyed butterfly
Be a rare, lost, multi-coloured
gemstone in the sea
surrounded by drops of
invisible, sweet nothings
Be that girl...
who stuffs too much wisdom
into her purse
beside her lipstick and hair gel
hoping for a makeover
of political injustices
Eat the flavours of success
to give access for the poor
With your voice
scream
forgiveness until
your eyes are sore
Hold open the door
of a compliment
to let someone beautiful in
Let no trouble reach
the mind's scaffolding
Smile,
because the weight,
is not impossible
for your holding
