g r a v i t y

to those little girls
who stay in the corners
and blend in
to those little boys
who hide behind bravado
and fake thick skins

with smiles stretched thin
who both whisper to the wind
eyes shedding tears
with hands clenching stones
and hearts burning fire

i bring you this
not hoping to inspire
just giving you
a few words strung together
