Giant

Unleash the beast from within.

Reveal the best that has yet to see the light.

You tiptoe and bend your shoulders forward to hunch and fit through frames made for those much smaller than you.

You find this life bland and unappetizing because you thirst for more. You are meant to drink from fire hydrants, not a garden hose.

Your one step is their thousand little shuffles. And so you’ve slowed down to let them catch up to you. You had to stop altogether because your going slow is still too fast for them. Afraid of crushing them with your giant steps, you hesitate.

You breathe small breaths for the fear of blowing them away. You can barely stretch, for the fear of hitting the fluttering pygmies all around you.

Always, you are afraid of causing harm.

Until you come across a herd of larger than life creatures.

They look like you. They bellow. They create wind as they run through the forests blooming with imagination.

They beckon you to join them.

You bring your shoulders back. Take a big breath before gulping down the green and blue liquid. You take one massive step to leap across the ocean to join your family of giants.
