Resilient Butterfly
A beauteous resilient butterfly
Swims the vast boisterous sea
Lonely but determined to acquire its destiny.
Waiting
I’m waiting for a decision from the judge,
which could come any day,
I feel like it’s been longer than 31 and a half years,
More like forever and a day.
I Am…
I wonder when “I Love Me” is enough.
I hear the sound of keys way too much.
I see my life better than the rest.
I want to succeed in this, to pass the test.
Hands
When I was little, people used to tell me that I had big hands, you should play basketball.
They would tell me so often in fact
That one day, I started to believe them
Until I asked my construction worker mom:
“Mommy, mommy, mommy could I be a basketball player?”
To which she said “No way!”
I Can Fly
Hills stretch into mountains
A squall is on the horizon
the chasm becomes the jaws of a beast
like rocky cliffs manifesting out of fog
