Starry Eyes | Simone Hunter

Shea Castleman

Dear Slow Poke, Roll your way through life, … Fight the battle, and Control your own path. Sweep the bystanders off their feet. Force others to feel the Glow of your personality.

Ignore the cacophony around you, Sparkle in the sunlight, Confront the clouds who block your light. Stand strong, away from the sunken ships. Although the waters force you to break, You can reform, you can rise again.

Be proud of your colors, Stormy grey, tired turquoise, rumbling royal, And peaceful, periwinkle blue. Glimmer majestically in the light. Don’t be a statue. Move around, make change. Do not allow Poseidon’s currents to manipulate who you are, Who you want to be, And when you break.
