it hurts my heart
that you have scars, too.
but of course you do.
im proud of you.
im proud of you
for overcoming them.
im proud of you
for having them
and still living life insanely loudly.
for using them to
overcome all the staleness —
the mediocrity.
because you do, ethan.
you live out loud
and i see every drop
of your sweet nectar color.
