just that.
My words…
 Are just that.
 Words.
 
 Letters stringing together
 To form words.
 Words stringing together 
 To form sentences heard.
 
 Sentences stringing together
 To form thoughts,
 Or at least that’s what 
 They ought.
 
 I want to form great thoughts.
 
 To have 
 Someone read my words -
 And stop. And say
 “Wow.”
 
 Or more importantly,
 Stop and 
 Think, 
 “How?”
 
 How did she craft this?
 What made her think?
 How did she see this through
 Eyes that, just like ours, blink?
 
 
 But my words…
 Are just that.
 Words.
 
 Your words have juice.
 Have life.
 Have depth.
 Have meaning.
 
 It’s not letters that form your words,
 But rather,
 Feelings. 
 
 You are 
 Terribly blessed 
 With adversity.
 
 Your struggles are your essence
 They are your building blocks.
 It’s what makes your words real and free,
 While mine make a brain lock.
 
 I’m Sheltered.
 Pigeon holed.
 
 Yes I’ve been hurt.
 Hurt many a time.
 But I strive to be the girl
 That everyone thinks is fine
 
 Because she 
 Hides so well behind her
 “Smile,”
 But I am no good –
 I fall more than once in a while.
 I am weak,
 And I crack,
 And I crumble,
 And I fall.
 I am the girl that’s weak,
 Not the one that stands tall.
 
 
 But my troubles are nothing 
 Compared to yours.
 
 You are 
 Terribly blessed with hardships,
 That transform your word’s gears,
 From words the eye sees,
 To words the mind hears.
 
 Even now, My Words…
 Are just that.
 Words. 
 
 But I want them to be so much 
 More.
 This is what I want in life.
 Without it, I’m a
 Bore. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Words are my
 Passion.
 Words are my 
 Dream.
 And they leave me in 
 Awe
 Each and every time, 
 It seems.
 
 But Words mean nothing to you.
 In fact, they are
 Lame.
 And yet, you are 
 Blessed 
 With a gift
 That, for which, you could have
  Fame.
 
 Yet I do not want fame –
 I want to inspire.
 I simply want to spark
 A thought fire.
 
 The gift that 
 I strive for.
 The gift that
 I live for.
 In the palm
 Of your hands.
 
 
 
 
 Blessed 
 With the gift I need.
 Without it I am
 Flesh and bones.
 What kind of life
 Can I lead?
 
 Without a gift,
 What purpose do I have 
 On this Earth?
 Without a gift,
 Do I have any worth?
 
 Why do you have
 My gift?
 And why don’t I?
 You have it 
 Lying around,
 And I need it 
 To fly.
 
 You have it.
 I want it.
 I need it.
 
 You achieved it through Pain,
 So maybe I should try the Same. 
 Is it really Self-Harm,
 If it’s all for Self-Gain?
 
 I need my words to be more,
 I need them to so[a]r[e]
 
 
 But my words…
 Are just that.
 Words.
