Words

The power to harm

and to lift and console. 

The wisdom in combining

twenty-six letters

creating a structure

entirely my own. 

 

Books

Take you into a magical realm

away from the daily pain

of living a life unconnected.

 

I was born to be the weaver

connecting threads of characters

to those misunderstood beings

surrounding us. 

 

I always felt alone

until the day I read a book

that made me feel understood.

 

I want to be

the author

to someone who needs a little bit of

understanding.
