Poem to Love Yourself By

Your laughter bubbles like a witch's cauldron
Whatever sorceress that brewed it sure did her best work
With you.
You are magic.

You!
With the curly hair that never seems to untangle itself from anxiety
Your thoughts, your emotions, and ideas
Are so fantastic
They have to come out through your scalp abstractly.
You are powerful.

When you speak, your kindness seeps
Through their shells and everything you don't own.
That seems like a curse, I know.
For you, people's flaws scab over with mirrors
and reflect into you.
Remember, mirrors flip the images of truth.
You are healing.

For the girl with freedom in her eyes,
And a long, unknown road in her heart,
You'll escape.
With your will, and your hope,
Anyone could.
There are people with faith in you, always.
Time to take a journey to discover them.
You are possibility.

And last, you.
You who wonders if words will be enough
Because they are your actions.
You whose pieces separate with each action,
Yearn for truth in the moments of static.
You wrote this for others, seeking yourself.
You wrote this for others to love themselves.
Seek no more, and love no less.

I'm much older than you - so, but anyway; did you see Missey Elliott at the SUPERBOWL? I love her; she was a wonderful surprise, like your poems, but I always enjoy them. Y/W.

I did see her, she was awesome! Better than Katy Perry in my opinion.
