My Whisper

My one true call to nature, to life, to existence

I love the sound of Opera and someday you’ll hear me singing it

Because I can

They won’t hold me back

I write because I‘m human: simple as that

Those people don’t understand

All I grasp is one world, one race, one life

Latin, Greek, Roman this is history not separation

Country, tall, short, fat, rock’n’roll

What is fat anyways?

Happiness is a choice and I have a voice

Stand altruistic fool

I write 'cause I have something to say

I like clover flowers even though momma says they’re a weed

And there’s this paved freeway I ride, on my way to work.

It holds dreams

I write 'cause my poppa loves to read my poems

And for once, just once I want to be free of their ubiquitous stereotypes.

To swim in passion, but for what?

 Simply because and it’s not mine to take from him or her. But to give

so I write cause I must

Impassioned plea, don’t disgust me

All these people

I see various colors, I see squinted eyes

Maybe the truths too bright

Vivacious green

Rough hold me tight Safe from flight

I write 'cause all I hear is human

Inner fears whisper from my ears

Words that sever, must be safe on paper

Blinding those people must fight

Stand with my gift, my voice

High school dropout, still human

He’s my friend, blazing orange hair only see human

I write because there are so many words calling my name, lusting for the opportunity to be used

Used for good, used for living

Words ready to be given as little presents, wrapped in precious bows

I write 'cause some can’t

Held back by fears, pains, what’s more lack of knowledge

I write to prove these are my brothers and my sisters

I write to remain human.

To remind humans

Shhh close your eyes and for this single moment revel in the life which surrounds you

It is not your own, yet it will forever remain an inextricable part of you

Deep breath and feel human
