Unknown

You are strong

You are brave

You are worth it

it's OK that life is hard

it's OK that you're on your own

"Everything is how it is, and however it is, is OK."

You are where you are supposed to be, 

    even if it's not where you want to be.

You are where you are supposed to be, 

    even if it's not where you want to be.

You are where you are supposed to be, 

    even if it's not where you want to be.

You are clever

You are bright

You are a solar system full of light

Traveling at a speed unseen.

No companions, feared as the Queen

    lost my T.A.R.D.I.S.

Waiting in the last scene

    planting seeds

Left Rose in the last scene a human copy

Pitted against the Master

Calling the Doctor before it gets obscene, 

    starts festering.

Cyborgs in every scene

    humanoids sucked dry, 

        no emotions, no cry. 

Trapped and suffering on the inside. 

Robo Cops, left without a heart

Tin Men, unknown to Dorthy in this land. 

Wizards are at the Quidditch match

    no one is running things.

You've got everyone claiming they're the king. 

It's a calamity, not Jane's

    though, they keep her running like a G.I.

Not waiting for a sign.

    Training and a good eye, 

    staying on the right side. 

Ridding with the Doctor we're always going in blind. 

You're Strong

You're Brave

You're Worth it

You're Clever

You're Bright

You are a Solar System full of Light 

    traveling into the unseen; exploring.

AOBTD

The day is most brilliant upon first awakening

Possibility is endless and I overbook

    it gets me stirring, gets me restless

I hear birds chirping

I hear leaves rustling

From a deep sleep guided by Tibetan bowl frequencies

    rested, hungry, courageous, and in need

Heading into my future bravely. 

There is no maybe. Committed to myself

    no caving. 

Each afternoon, a grab bag of sun, snow, or rain

Keeps me thinking, ahead

    had to plan for it

Keeping dry, warmth from within

    staying near by

It's the North West, there's always a barista

    within ear shot

Making it to sun down

    memories of grace and of mercy as

    another one bites the dust

Finding gratitude in the journey. 

Shedding tears because the struggle is real

    but this time of day is pure beauty. 

 Now it's time to eat, share a meal

Lay down to sleep, 

    I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
