My Words
I want my words to imitate those Mighty Bean toys,
 And jump inside your head.
 I want my words to constantly move.
 Twirl through your mind and provoke an undiscovered meaning
 I want my words to show its various sides.
 When you see my Spiderman Mighty Bean,
 I want you to save yourself from the evil that awaits.
 When you see my Green Goblin Mighty Bean,
 I want you to fight until you gain ultimate control.
  
 I want my words to imitate a Polly Pocket doll,
 But I don't want my words to be plastic or pretend.
 I want you to dress my words up in the fanciest outfit you can create,
 but then I want you to strip them naked,
 Allowing you to see them for what they truly are.
 I want my words to take a ride in the "Polly Convertible"
 So they can show you the places they've been,
 And let you explore unheard of sights.
  
 I want my words to imitate Hot Wheels,
 And race into your mind.
 I want my words to twist and turn through the tracks of your life
 And make pitstops along the milestones.
 I want my words to run on full speed
 And take risks that will only make them more memorable.
  
 I want my words to imitate Woody from Toy Story,
 Providing you with a sense of secureness that you'll always have a friend
 And assuring that they'll be there in your time of need.
 I want my words to be as unique as his cowboy hat,
 And inspire others to stand out.
  
 Overall, I want my words to remind you of youth.
 I want my words to be a five-year-old boy learning to ride a two-wheeler.
 The scratch on his knee when he falls off, and the band-aid that heels it.
 I want my words to scream because they're scared of the dark,
 And then I want my words to be the nightlight that comforts its fear.
 I want the child within to come alive when you read my words.
 And when you read my words, I want you to shout.
 Shout, because that's what little kids do.
 They don't leave any emotion bottled up inside;
 They shout it all out.
