A Story So Grand

I have sat and stayed this way, wrongly accepting that there’s not much that I can change.

However, recently, I have come to see

that life is a chronicle

and you have to compile the moments that define you.

And seconds and minutes might not feel like much,

but my dear, that’s because you have to add them up.

Write it out, each important fleeting time

because you have to make them listen.

And perhaps if you make a tale so grand,

it will be told after your own end.

Because in the end we all become stories

and I want mine to be told with glory.

  • Ineffable

    As powerful as words can be,

    there are some moments,

    some feelings,

    When just trying to define them-

    To tether them to the words that can be so powerful-

  • Who we are

    You may stand up on a pedestal and teach people about life if that makes you whole.

    Perhaps it will make another whole to listen

    You can be wise and filled with deception all the same.

  • Full

    Beautiful minds.

    Hearts burst.

    Filled up,

    Slowly bled dry

    Bled “safe”

    Become functioning once more,

    Again.
