Poem
How do you sit amongst nature and call yourself beautiful? How can you be around conversations and call yourself sociable? How is it possible to see hands interlocked, eyes deep in lust, wonder, and excitement and not believe in love? No not love, a chance at love. Not even love, happiness or hope even for a little bit. Why can’t you give yourself a chance? Why can’t you consider allowing yourself to partake in uplifting opportunity? Let’s think. Men climb the tallest mountain in the world, Women, whom doctors profess unable, give birth. Not only can blacks vote, we can vote for one. There’s a child struggling for hope, happiness, and a home, But you can’t give me your hand. It’s all matters of the mind, you see. Pay attention to your heart. Where have you been? Why did you leave? And why go back, You've become anew. Why hold your fears as a priority? Fear does nothing but limit, Fear teaches nothing but excuses. Is it really fear or letting your mind stay suspended? Your trunk of an imagination claims these dreams lacking leaves. Stare at the naked branches all you please but they won’t appear with the breeze. Wait, there’s a leaf, it’s different from your previous. Its bright green, but a little worn. It’s a start. A start to rebuilding and remembering. There’s another only two steps away, why not take it? It’s a little out of reach, two steps and you’re there. You’re not leaving your tree, you’re bettering it. Clothe your mind and soul with what the wind blows in. It’s definitely different, but who says it’s not time for a change? They say- If you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done. But you can hold the same aspirations just make a few adjustments. You could find someone to genuinely support those There’s a whole world you’ve yet to see, Step outside your backyard. Step into the unknown to eliminate the unknown within yourself. How do you sit amongst nature and call yourself ugly? How can you be around conversations and call yourself a loner? Explore happiness. Engage yourself, no. Submerge. You’re trying to stay afloat, But is it really worth the wasted strength?
