Dear wolf boy
Oh wolf boy
Tell your stories and dance under the stars
Give offering to zeus and sing praise to mars
Pretend that you don’t notice the stares
And keep hoping you’re a little less of an oddity when you grow up.
Dear crane girl
Oh crane girl
Breathe in the world with every piece of yourself.
Read every book on every bookshelf
Tell the world what it’s like on the adventures inside your head
As you cry yourself to sleep in the cocoon of your bed.
Dear ash tree
Oh ash tree
Tell them your name, scream it to the wind.
Keep living as everyday they die, your kind.
Toss your wishes into the well
Hopeing the world won’t break you as well
You are just children growing up in the remnants of a world made for you.
You are just children fighting for your lives.
You are just children.
You used to tell stories and dance under the stars
Read adventures in story books
Live with the light at your back and a world at your fingertips.
Dear little me
Oh little me
Braid flowers into your matted hair
The world doesn’t hate you yet
Dance without a care
Live your life and let me fret
We aren’t dead yet.
