Gifts

So you're gifted A wordsmith enchantress verb mistress Gifted Like the nouns and adjectives I find are new and shiny Unique Unlike any other human on this planet Who'd otherwise not have found em But for I This term gifted I dont take on as a description of mine.

Sometimes, when I read them aloud, I choke on the unchecked sleeping pieces of me now Healing darkness that light awoke. Still sometimes I don't see the presents I have to give I seldom look through large openings I've been getting better with each days passing Though I feel I may not be using 100% of my intellectuality when it comes to Acknowledgment of all the gifts I have yet to unwrap, See without A clear view and perspective of self I will never believe I am full of talent As much as I hear it from the few Lately, I've gotten a lot better at seeing myself through My eyes with a clear view Some days, I'm surprised It took me this long To recognize I have a place and it's not inside alone like a recluse forbidden from seeing gifts I produce It's within the letters that make words Creating sentences about experiences some share relatability to There is meaning in each piece Through openings A view I now see May hold truth
