To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.


Nostalgic tendencies drive the individual to times they can barely

remember.

 

Unrecognizable voices,

morphed for years you can't recall

become bedtime sonnets.

 

A soft spoken dissipation,

your mouth uttered silence

and now

I can't look in the mirror

without recognizing ancestors left speechless.

This is a short piece I wrote after thiking about stories that are passed down though generations. I personally love hearing my parent's stories of their childhood and can't help but wonder about the stories I'll pass on to my children.
