i've decided the time for words has not passed

we stem from a root planted

in belief of an image

that poofy hair and yellowed smiles

are more than less accepted

yet, they are still smiles.

THEY

CAN'T

DEFINE

WHO WE ARE.

the limits for a beautiful dream

do not breathe the toxins, obey the rules, color inside the lines

we must believe that life

devotes more to creating than searching

WE

CANNOT

ALLOW

OURSELVES

TO FORGET

WHAT HAPPENS HERE.

I enjoy listening to Neil Hilborn's poetry on YouTube and his spoken word albums. I feel like he's become a huge idol for me.
