You are more than the trickling tears that
fall down your slippery cheeks,
the depths of darkness and drunkenness,
depths of bitter beats and blackened
seas, the salty waves spinning inside
your soul trying to diminish your existence.
You are more than the solitary nights
sitting behind closed doors, sinking inside,
shifting in time, drifting in the distance,
crazed cigarettes wedged between your
fingers, the cloudy smoke curling into
crimson chambers.  You are more than
disconnection, surrounded by emptiness
and dried diction, diminishing chemistry,
unfinished physics, seeping into stained
kingdoms.  You are more than your
existence.  Take a closer look within your
dimension and realize the power that you
possess inside.  Embrace the shimmering
light that shines in your eyesight,
the captivating clouds that flow among
your masterpiece, bathing in your iridescence.
You are more than it all.  You are somebody.
