365 Days of Creativity
day seventy nine
i am small
insignificant
unknown
i am stupid
oblivious
unknowing
i am cowardly
frightened
traumatized
i am lonely
undiscovered
isolated.
I walk,
a miniature
on shelves of oak
Leather
Mahogany
Ink
Bound together
Captured
Caught
Immortalized
Worlds
Nations
Perpendicular
Universes
Nothing
like this
I skip,
across
the spines
Clamber
up the
covers
My path
is paved
with
passages
A letter-bricked
road
from
A to Z
I undress
bare, skin
soul
and consciousness
Poised
on edge
of paper bound
Feel pulp
pressed
thin
between my toes
and into
worlds
nations
parked perpendicular
I dive
headlong
naked
nothing
canvas clean
I bathe
in dreams
of geniuses
let words
wash,
letters
lather,
paragraphs
punctuate.
I,
a sponge
they,
the water
slowly
swiftly
suck in truths
absorb ideas
displayed uncouth
I wade
through
minds
of men
birthed
from
minds
of men
fact is
fiction
as I
see fit
poultice
and
poison
paint with
identical
hues
I backstroke
through stories
bound by
the skin
of the dead
I am taught
by men
long gone
friends are
found
in
Flander's fields
These words
like a cake
that begs
"eat me"
implore me
to grow
I Am Big
Significant
Known
I Am Smart
Aware
Knowing
I Am Brave
Fearless
Untouched
I Am Allied
Discovered
Surrounded.
