My Superpower

Pencil to paper 

Feels like pencil to world  

The world through my eyes expressed under pen  

As I write again and again, about the life I've lived. 

Pencil to paper  

When burden succumbs me  

Or when I feel life's threat 

Yet, I see positivity,  

I write down the joy through life's misery,  

And hopefully, cause them to smile,  

Those people who've forgotten for a while, 

How to do that action.  

Pencil to paper 

When my heart aches or I feel misunderstood  

When the world becomes a cage of pointing fingers  

Judging me, judging them  

Written down is the emotion 

Like seeing life through their eyes  

Like seeing life through my eyes  

Like seeing me 

Pencil to paper 

The chaos, I do find, written on my lines  

But also the hope, that will change the world  

Words not petty but powerful  

Moments memorable, 

A life worth living. 

Pencil to paper  

Poetry a mirror  

Reflecting the world  

The chaos, the beauty  

The inspiration, the fear  

All here  

Pencil to paper 

Poetry like glass 

See through to the soul, the spirit, the mind  

And climb to heights unimaginable  

To world's unseen. 

Pencil to paper  

In spite of the darkness  

Let light shine through  

Through blue and grey skies. 

I have the power to empower 

My words are not worthless 

Poetry is my song, Poetry is my superpower.
