city as a canvas

people dart in out of its details.
for some reason
they think talent creativity escaped.
false starts discouraged the spirit
who do you tell your dreams to?
they bounce around the head
cannibalized by thoughts
beaten by others
who are too scared to dream
think big
go hard.
if dreams are kept secret
they will die an untimely death.
who do you tell your dreams to
who do you open yourself to
share in the light of you
to see exposed vulnerable parts of you?
the twinkle in your eye shines for a reason
thoughts try to force its way out mouth
for a reason.
drop the draw bridge
grant them safe passage
to the safety of the ones you trust.
