Believe
Believe in handwritten letters
In firm handshakes that state who you are
Make eye contact
It will reveal more truth than words
Believe that the sunset is just a transition to the dawn
For we all have to deal with darkness
But don’t turn on the TV
Or fall asleep to the sound of a fan
Open the door
Lie down on the driveway
Notice the stars
Feel small
Feel connected
Believe in books
Believe that when people speak loudly against you
Their voice is just a worn dirty band aid
Trying to cover a wound bigger than you can see
Their attempt to scar you is
Just a scream filled with pain from the past
Walk away, though
Believe in sunflowers
Believe in Sunday dinners with trips for ice cream
Believe that tomorrow is just a reflection of the way you lived your life today
Time is the greatest liar in this world
It promises everything like a carny
Calling for you to try your luck at a game you can’t win
Because tomorrow is never a guarantee
No matter how persuasive the carny calls to you
Believe that you are enough
Believe that dreams come true
Just not on a shooting star
Your hands have to become dirty
Your lungs short of breath
Muscles will ache
That is how dreams becomes reality
Believe that
Believe in tears
Believe in joy
Believe that I love you
Even after I leave for the heavens
lie down on the driveway
Notice the stars
Feel small
Feel connected
Feel loved
But most importantly
Believe...
