Inspire

I need to create something that tears your soul open,

I want to write words so meaningful that it digs into the tiny corners of your heart that can't be found by anything else.

 

I need to write something that changes your perspective on this life,

and the next.

 

I want to write something that makes goosebumps ripple across your skin as you soak in the words.

 

Writing should be a letter to the soul and not a glimpse by the eyes,

I want my words to tattoo your skin,

never letting you forget.

 

I don't want the things I write to be forgotten in the back of a library someday,

or at the end of an account that never gets clicked on,

I want people to find inspiration in my words,

find hope in-between the lines,

the strings of words that leave imprints on your heart and mind,

making you want to create something even better.

 

Something so beautifully breathtaking,

that even the greats would take a step back to think,

the type of writing that will be taught to future writers,

the writing that inspires.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
