Remember Young Heart By Te’Kia Miller Remember why you are here young heart. You are not here to make friends. But if you do, it is okay. Remember why you are here young heart. You are not here to stay. You are just passing by. The end goal is to reach your dreams. They do not live here, Where you are unfulfilled and dissatisfied. They do not live here where you are Discouraged and surrounded by the weights Of other’s negativity. They do not live here where you must Constantly prop up your joy with splints And muddle through a show. They do not live here where others Will try to puppeteer you Where they want you. They will try to finesse you Into things that will encumber you. And think you don’t see the strings They’re holding behind their backs. Remember why you are here young heart. You are just passing by Until you reach your dreams. 2022.
