“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Do not hold your breath for anyone,
Do not wish your lungs to be still,
It may delay the cracks from spreading,
But eventually they will.
Sometimes to keep yourself together
You must allow yourself to leave,
Even if breaking your own heart
Is what it takes to let you breathe.”

On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
