until you are a mountain

•∞•

"You do not grow until you notice how far the ground is,
until you are level with the birds in the sky,
twittering in pity;
until they believe you are a prayer anthem,
soulful and pure;
until you stand as solemn as mountains,
capped with pointed edges,
because the world scraped all of your softness away. "
