You bury yourself in layers as you grow,<\/p>\n
And when others picked you apart<\/p>\n
You buried yourself deeper and deeper.<\/p>\n
Until the you they see is not bedrock,<\/p>\n
Just another shelf of slim self worth,<\/p>\n
Supported by stress cracks and boiling feelings<\/p>\n
That threaten to burn you alive when you’re alone.<\/p>\n
Remember even faults must shake, volcanos<\/p>\n
Recover after being unmade by violent upheaval<\/p>\n
And stand taller, recover themselves to calm.<\/p>\n
Let yourself go. Unmake and break, bend, release,<\/p>\n
Remember what makes you, we’re all made of fire<\/p>\n
And beneath the thin shell of fear glow bright,<\/p>\n
Brilliant like the cores of dead stars.<\/p>\n
Remember to burn passion, own what makes you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
