Bold

Have you ever dreamed of something so hard that it hurts to wake up?
Have you ever doubted the makeup of your DNA, just craving change?
Have you ever seen your old self fall by the wayside so quick?
Have you ever licked a star hoping to ingest some of that magic?

I have done all these things, my heart singing dreamsong in
The depths of my imaginings.
My cells knowing there's something added, something not freely found,
My old self waves back serenely, wishing me well on my journey,
As though I'm the star and she's just the memory of me.
