Stop!

Stop building bridges
for people who only keep
burning them down.
Stop bleeding for
vampires with
unquenchable thirst.
Stop jumping off cliffs
for those who would
neither be your wings to fly
nor catch you
at the end of the fall.
With all that magic,
all that love within you,
don't you dare walk
through fire again
just to thaw a frozen heart.
You're a pheonix, darling.
Risen from ashes
over and over again.
You contain an entire
cosmos within you.
So the next time you let
the wolves howl at you,
make sure they treat you
like the fucking moon.
