Believe!

                        You gotta.
          sprinkle dust in your eyes.
                        blink and strain.
                 and flap those arms.
      and flap.
and
                        FLY!!!

dammit, fly...
        when the stars fall from the sky
        and wax melts from your wings
you still fly.
                        at least you try.
                        believe in a self?
be loved, self.
                        sigh.

put bandaids on skinned knees.
shampoo hair, brush out sun flakes.
                        and try again.

rub the dust in your eyes.
tease rainbows along your lashes.
                        don't just cry...try!

as tinkerbelle                          rises again
