I have one of those loud girls

 I have one of those loud girls

the ones that sing instead of talk
the ones that stomp instead of walk
the ones that turn every room into a stage

she doesn’t do quiet
she doesn’t do small
she doesn’t know how to dim herself
and i pray she never learns

she laughs with her whole body
cries like the world is ending
loves like there’s no limit

and i know
one day people will call her “too much”

but i’ll never be one of them

because that loud
that wild
that unapologetic spirit

that’s not something to fix

that’s something to protect
