Be wary
Of lackluster kisses,
But don’t be afraid to try.
_____________________
Be worried
About words that sound too sweet,
But know that it’s okay to cry.
_____________________
Be angry
About broken promises
And injustice,
But don’t stop reaching
For the sky.
_____________________
Be relieved
When bad love
Releases you from its grasp,
Buy don’t look back
When it tries to catch your eye.
_____________________
Be ecstatic
When you achieve your dreams,
But don’t forget:
You were always meant to fly.
