8: The Owl House (2020)

used to hate ‘It Gets Better’

bc a lot of times you just bitter

on and on and on w/o any progress

any footprints to call your own,

and things get different awful, once unspoken

things get spoken-

into-the-law-of-the-land awful, and

a lot of times you just get dead or dead yourself.

but now this world is

Your cloister, these are the walls i will hoist around You,

this is the place You can put your tiny footprint down

again and again and again without any congress
telling You how to own what You are.

i get to guide You to the idols of my youth,

get the light of You knowing that You could’ve been, could always

have been, and You get to tell me how two girls

kiss first kisses on TV

not even shocked to see yourself there,

just like You’re every other kid

We never got to be.
