Some days are dark,

baked in charcoal and tea spoonfuls of sadness.

Do not blow-dry your face into forceful bloom

but take the time off.

Do not give the world a counterfeit smile,

settle in with yourself.

Filter the voices that hunt you and

empty the suitcase of expectations your body was carved to fit in.

Do not weave your name into a bleeding headline.

Make most of the moments,

share them first with yourself before

letting the world in through the front door.

Do not breathe your last on a keypad

forging holes into captions or

welding your cheekbones together.

Mop away every teardrop.

Do not become a tenant in your own body,

Occupy every room.

Your body is your home,

so feel at home.
