I am a figurine that's part of a larger set. Unique in the way that limited additions often are - but only when one has the whole set placed neatly on a shelf.
I'm unforgettable through action. You may never know my name, or me yours. But you will remember the way I smiled at you on the bridge. Or when I picked up your bag as it slid down the middle isle of the bus. When you caught me cupping my hands filled with water through your fence, trying to hydrate your dog on a 40degree day.
Because that's who I am.
How did I become this way you ask? It was through the care of a mother, who's doe brown eyes are forgetting how to light the spark of happiness, her lighter slowly spluttering out. The constant yelling of childhood drilled into my ears. The demanding and blinding new life that spreads like wildfire in my family, running along hot and warming (or burning) the hearts of those around them. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6OZqsuhbW
I became the way I am by noticing the little things that make up big things and clapping my hands excitedly when I saw how it was all connected. I am this way because of the eternal hope that isn't bound by human law or emotion - but by something greater and bigger, and brighter then anything I could ever achieve. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAKgAf029vig
And he's on my side. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAV4ajp5ol7m
I'm this way because I think differently to the people I love, I see a bright future in shadows. I have a childlike hope and happiness that sustains me through the darkest closets of my past, present and future. And maybe - if they grip my outstretched hand - helps light the paths out of the dungeons of others.
I'm quirky in a way that when I explain where I'm from people nod their head and say, "Ah, that makes sense."
I am the child that walks into a flower shop, glass vases tipped with crystal, watching solemnly as I cup a flower between my palms to smell her fragrance. To share in her life.
I am a being that follows the sun's rays, that skips across fields and rolls down hills in a fit of laughter. I child that wants more then one can have, but never afraid to try.
I am a creature that sings to the full moon, laughs with the rain and swings on a rocking chair in thunderstorms. Senses as alive as a bee hive. 690Please respect copyright.PENANA8mMZIPpE2h
I am a candle in the darkness, many coming closer to watch me flicker while others fear I will be snuffed out by the world. Holding me tightly, their own protection causing my light to waver.
My spirit runs along with it's creator the way wild horses run with the wind. Thrilled for the chance to breathe.
I am this way because I was created to shine.
