Hey, Kid




"Hey, kid,"

You made it. 
One year
One day
Twelve hours beyond. 
An entire rotation around the earth. 

Beyond the sadness
Beyond the darkness
Beyond the pitch black 
Drowning 
Running water
Gasping for air
Adrenaline rush
Heartache
Heart attack
Agony 
Tears
Steak knife through the heart
Tweezers pinching your arteries 
Knockout 
Fade out
Back to black 

And returning to rebirth. 

You made it. 
You made it farther than fear
You made it farther than you would've ever dreamt. 

Count them
Nine
Nine to one 
One to nine 
Felines in a fine line. 

"Hey, kid,"

You did it
Have you looked in a mirror today?
Have you seen her?
Does she seem familiar?
It's breathtaking finally seeing the real you again. 

You're so pretty. 
You're so kind. 
You've got love on your sleeves. 

"Hey, kid,"
You're not a kid anymore. 

One year 
Of sprouting
Expanding 
Collecting
Reconnecting. 

One day
Of bonding
Recollecting
Loving

As always
You carry on

"Hey, Kid,"

I'm proud of you. 
We all are. 

One step in the right direction. 
One skip
One hop
One jump.

Towards loving yourself more.
