The way you are

You, amid all of your bluster and your loud, screaming dreams.
You, taking on the world. Doing it by yourself. Larger than life. Proud. Ready.
You with your strength and your empowerment and your interesting life, cool friends.
You with your thoughts. You with your head. You with your heart.

You look so small in that big jacket you wear.
You look so small when you finally meet my gaze.
Suddenly so interested in the texture of the carpet.

Don't let anyone make you feel small.
Not even yourself.

Especially not yourself.
