I have built to the sky Geometry called home, Where birds sing along The rolling oaks, And valleys curve the words And signature of earthen Memory write poetry On the mind. I have written love on paper Digital and the waves have Crossed the planets one day The stars, That poetry made me whole And the world That beat me down told me I could not survive, I am here speaking the beauty I have become Because I am absorbing The best I can the position I have been given, Look, I am Me, Take me as I am As I have learned to live With myself among the masses, There is light and I walk Now burning the shadows Out of thoughts And I write myself clean. I am beautiful Because I know that poetry Is too.
