I know this girl who paints the solar system on the back of her hands. Her laughter resonates with the sound of a waterfall. I know this girl who is a beautiful amalgamation of all the elements of nature; She is as calm as water, as tender as earth, as spirited as fire and as fresh as the morning air.
I know this girl whose soul is reflected in her eyes. She is the epitome of serenity. I know this girl who speaks the language of constellations. When the world seems cold, she kindles fires to warm it.
I know this girl who is like a rainbow. She is the most beautiful and captivating rainbow that has emerged out of the hurricane of life. I know this girl who brings people hope. I know this girl who is a bright light but loves the dark. She is the child of the Moon; peaceful and mysterious.
I know this girl who is like the sunshine that lifts people up in the cold and bleak winters. On an ordinary day filled with nothingness, she makes people feel as if they have won the lottery; there is nothing ordinary about her.
I know this girl who always has something intriguing going on in her mind. She thinks so much that she gets lost in her own mind. Her mind is like a museum of all the people that came and left; all the memories they’ve left behind.
I know this girl who wasn't taught that she is enough. I know this girl who has worked on herself day and night but no one knows it. No one knows her journey; how she turned herself into a sparkling diamond from mere coal.
I know this girl who is like the air of a misty morning. While some of it vanishes into thinness, some of it resides in every person she meets. She leaves an imprint wherever she goes. I know this girl and she is here to be known.
