Larger Than Life


Do not let them cage you.

You are strong

and smart

and beautiful.

Cages are for animals.

You are not an animal.

Do not let them put you in a box.

You are loving

and brave

and fearless. 

Boxes are for the forgotten.

You can never be forgotten.

Do not let them contain you.

You are fierce

and free

and passionate.

Containers are for the meek and mild.

You cannot be contained.

You are larger than life,

Larger than your physical form,

Larger than any container ever made.
