The dread of turning 18 and a sense of not having accomplished enough, poured on paper the words that describe how accomplishments meant becoming more human and unbecoming anything less than that.
Like waves of the ocean
I soared up and crashed
I made the sky cry
I softened the shores
I am deep as the trenches
I am simplistic as the upper ripples
I am water
Here's to me and my lunar dance
Like rocks of the mountain
I was a boulder to some and to some an obstacle
I was broken and eroded
I was put back new with old strange pieces
I nurtured the flowers
I made the world shake
I am earth
Here's to me and the Springs I bore
Like winds of change
I started a storm and cooled the Summers
I brought in clouds
I moved them again to leave rainbows behind
I lifted the dreamers
I spread fires
I am air
Here's to me and the breaths I behold
Like flames of the sun
I spread light and scorched lands
I burnt myself in love
I exploded at the tenderest of beings I ignited passion
I rekindled hope
I am fire
Here's to me and my bonfire that warms the songs around me.
Here's to the starry night that inhabits my heart
Here's to the sunsets that drowned in my tears
Here's to the laughters that like music breeze in and out my ears
Here's to the skins that touched my soul
Here's to the smiles to stay and the tears to leave
Here's to being, to being me.

This is Forever. <3
