-Put Something In, by Shel Silverstein

Yes, we can

Look at you. So strong and powerful.

Even in your tears is what I think the word overcome would taste like.

Even after you’ve wiped your tears and the white film of tear dust stains your cheeks, your face, feels like positivity. You practically sweat warm compliments and optimism. Even when you’re on the dark side, inside. Your skin is my favorite affirmation.

Your words are what I fell for. The way you use them to pick brains and make others feel confident, understood, or even offended if that is the intent. Smooth as silk, your words could be spread evenly over the face and wash off to reveal a radiant glow.

Your stance, firm, easily maintained, attractive. Even on the bed with your knees touching your lips while tears fall cross your face making a small wet spot on your blanket, your stance exudes strength. See It comes in two extremes, on one end you show the careless and fearless strength of a young child. On the other side you are like fine China. Strong in the understanding of your value even if fragile on the surface.

If your ambition was a drug you’d want to take It everyday. You are so creative and such an opitimist. You make It happen and have life changing creations. An opioid, ironically, describes my love for your drive. With all opiods, they have an addictive feature and a withdrawal feature. As your drive decreases, or as you shrink yourself into settling for less... your chest burns, your ears tingle, your heart beats audibly in your chest. I wish I could eliminate your woes by encouraging you to take your drug. Drive on. Drive fast. Drive hard.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
