Joan of Arc by jinglin Xu

[eyesonmattyb]

AND I WONT CONFESS THAT I WAITED BUT I LET THE LAMP BURN. AS THE MEN MASQUERADED, I HOPED YOU’D RETURN WITH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND TELL ME ALL THAT YOU’VE LEARNED. CAUSED LOVES NEVER LOST WHEN PERSPECTIVE IS EARNED. AND YOU SAID YOU’D COME AND GET ME BUT YOU WERE TWENTY FIVE AND THE SHELF LIFE OF THOSE FANTASIES HAS EXPIRED. LOST TO THE LOST BOYS CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE. FORGIVE ME PETER PLEASE KNOW THAT I TRIED TO HOLD ON TO THE DAYS WHEN TOU WERE MINE. BUT THE WOMAN WHO SITS BY THE WINDOW HAS TYRNED OUT THE LIGHTSSSSSSSS

You are valued on this earth. Your presence matters to people. The people who love you love you dearly. You might not notice the impact you have, that the delivery person is glad to see your plants, that a stranger on the street smiled because you passed by, the person who follows you is excited to see your posts, that your coworkers, classmates, and community members are grateful for your life in more ways than they express.
