I don't understand how words
written in the sand,
words written with my simple hand
can make me think twice.
Or how being tethered to my phone
makes me feel less alone.
And how staying at my friends home
makes me wish I were family.
I can't change anything.
Becuase we deal with what we're given
we don't get to choose how we live and
attempts to change the world are just trivial...
Right? Wrong.
See, those words in the sand
words written even with my simple hand
could make someone's day better.
That's a change I can make.
A small step I can take.
And by connecting to the world with my phone, I'm never really alone,
I can project a positive tone
For my small audience to hear.
You see, change is waiting for you,
anxiously waiting for you to choose what you will do
to make your world a better place.
Even if it's as simple as words in the sand
that will put a smile on someone's face.
This is a piece that, besides a few words and punctuation corrections here and there, is unedited. It's something I'd like to call "motivational mumbles". I had this major brainwave of motivation, positivity and inspiration after attending my first open mic and hearing spoken word/slam poetry. As soon as I returned home, this is what I produced. I hope it makes sense, and that someone can connect with it like I do!!
