I Am Words: With Might and Worth
You, with all your insecurities
How often have you forgotten your victories?
How easy was it to let them whisper into your ears
Until you disappeared?
Their words distracted you from your thoughts
Turning what was you into naught, but…
You are words
Arranged in the patterns of the universe
You are letters
Formulated by every beat of every pulse
You are ink
Amalgamated abstracts and realities in sync
You are stories and poems
You excite, you drive
You provoke, you invoke
Assumption and aversion, but
Also inspiration and challenge
And creation and ambition
You are both the poison and medicine
A juxtaposition
You are the manifested epitome
Of this crazy thing we call humanity
So let’s rewrite your story
Take back your out of place “sorries”
Turn it all into an allegory
Tell them what you know
Reach deep and paint them a picture of your soul
Don’t be afraid to show them the crevices of your heart
Every part of you is art
