Everyone should be told they’re more than enough
They should be told that they can be a storm if they want to
That they can be a downpour of greatness if they desire
That they can flood the streets and tear houses down
That they are capable of mass destruction
Everyone should be told they can do this with their words
Maybe then people would watch what they say
Maybe then people would speak up more
Knowing your words can impact someone or something so heavily
That would make everyone think twice
How they greet someone
How they express their love
How they talk about themselves
How they talk about others
But we don’t tell our kids how powerful they are
How their words can bring down buildings
How they’re capable of much more than the jobs their 9th grade teacher said they’d be good at
Tell them to stop thinking practically and realistically
Show them what it means to really think outside the box
To have crazy ideas and to try and achieve them
Not just dream about them
Teach them they are bigger than their names
Teach them they are storms
Teach them that they can be hurricanes
Teach them that love is homemade and
They deserve all the love in the world
Show them it’s easy to smile and
Happiness can last more than just a while
Show them they can achieve the things they didn’t think possible
That whatever they choose to do is enough
Whether they want to be a drizzle and a breeze
Or lightening and hail
They are enough
