The Exception of Awesome

Mon, 06/29/2015 - 00:46 -- Zaram

I do not know too much about poetry,

except that it's the doorway to expression, 

and with it, you can always be the exception.

And that's awesome. 

 

You know what else is awesome?

That today anyone can get married,

No exceptions. 

Anyone can express themselves, 

in peace and acception. 

That's pretty awesome.

 

You want to know what else is awesome?

I know a young boy.

Who once gave the little he had

to feed a man he's never met. 

And when asked to help his mother out of bed,

he doesn't fret. 

He's awesome.

 

Thousands of people coming together,

though in times of tension and tragedy,

Can become one, and stand united.

Without anything to share in common, 

there's that one exception.

It enables us to behold one another,

in acception.

Now that right there? That's awesome.

 

You know what else is awesome?

That despite my challenges, 

Despite my past, I will succeed.

No exceptions.

I have the control, to make myself

The woman I know I can be...

Happy, prosperous, free.

Now that's awesome.

 

And guess what, so can you. 

No, we.

We can come together, do whatever.

Conquer the world, build it greater.

Despite all this craziness,

There's still awesome to be found.

Everything is awesome.

And that? That's just awesome.
