typewriter: Favorites

it is until it isn't
it does until it doesn't
you are until you aren't

three statements i refuse to believe
one idea pressed into me like
hot metal on a wrinkled shirt sleeve
discouragement is a word
from which i am free
sixteen is a number
i will not let hold me

not my best. i'm not used to writing about positivity, but i had to express this.

i really appreciate megan (http://hellopoetry.com/megan-grace/) talking me out of feeling discouraged about my poems after some negative feedback this morning. thank you. <3
