day 53

open letter to lc:

1

do not bite the hand that feeds you-

you feed me the faith I need 

to get through my daily obstacles

I will never put clenched teeth

to clenched fists

with you,

I am open to dream

2

gold-

new friends are bronze medals

dusted replicas of golden futures

you will always be my golden girl

holding up sun rays

with fingertips just to keep us warm

3

there is always enough time-

we share fresh secrets like fresh dandelions

picked off strands of grown grass

here we lay and exchange mindsets

filling each other in with more oxygen

and breathing in old carbon dioxide

i am able to breathe with you

4

seven years-

this sisterhood is .34 seconds away from me

i feel your comfort during the farthest of distances

wherever we both rest our heads at night

you will be the first thing i think of

when i wake up

5-

i don't need to fall in love

to know what true love is

6

sisterhood
