A Birthday Poem for Michelle Rodriguez

Born beneath the blaze of summer, with thunder sleeping in your name, you came into the world unbroken, carrying courage like a flame.

There has always been a wild road opening wherever you stand, a road of engines, dust, and starlight, a map drawn by your own hand.

You wear strength without pretending, never polished into tame, but fierce with truth and bright defiance, answering only to your flame.

Through every role, through every battle, through every scar the years may bring, you show the grace of one who rises without surrendering a thing.

May this birthday bring you freedom, wide horizons, open skies, laughter shared with loyal spirits, and new fire within your eyes.

May every challenge meet your courage, may every doorway know your stride, and may the road ahead grow brighter with the fearless heart inside.

So raise a glass to strength and motion, to untamed dreams and victories won, to a woman forged in lightning, still racing boldly toward the sun.

Happy Birthday, Michelle Rodriguez— may fortune ride beside your flame, and may the stars above remember the power carried in your name.

Shoulders fold inwards

My aching bones all crumble
