The "Tumblr Note" Phenomena
Don’t ask for Notes
Because your life
Is worth so much
More than that.
Instead, say to
Yourself
‘If the Sun rises this
Morning I will
Too, because like
Me, she only
Gets a night’s
Rest and yet
That does not
Keep her from
Her job.’
Say, ‘I will survive
Today because
My bones are iron
And my heart is
Beating and my
Lungs are still
Accepting air
So that must mean
The Earth will have
Me for another day
And I will stay for
However long she
Wants me.’
Say, ‘I am one with
The world; I am
Important, someone
Needs me. The grass
Adores my presence.
Look at the way it bends
For me as I walk on it.
As if I was a god.
The World needs me
So I will stay.”
