Perspectives and gratitude

Everybody sees the world differently, 
and so 
for every person 
there is a separate world,
and that world 
is a bubble of perspective
reaching only as far as their imaginations,
growing only as big as their understanding, 
showing them only what they know. 
It is only when somebody "breaks" their bubble
and lets the whole world
be their limit,
that they start to understand 
that one person 
really can
change the world.
Two people can do better,
a whole group 
of hundreds,
and thousands,
can do so much!
And I'm very proud to be a part of one of those groups. 
Thank you YWP
for changing my world.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
