I

Was about to sit and write about something entirely different,

and was gifted with this.

Sometimes, prose on the fly is at its greatest strength. Enjoy!

I

by Lyn Marinello

I matter.
I'm worthy.
I belong here.

My voice

and opinion

should be shared without fear.

My life

and my purpose

are not meant for your label.

My tears

and my anger

do not denote I'm unstable.

I'm strong

and resilient

yet incredibly tired.

I seek faith

and soul sisters

to keep me inspired.

I'm tall

and I'm short.

I am all sizes and shapes.

I am wit.

I am brawn.

Always battling gapes.

I'm a mess

Though I'm not

Can it be any more clear?

I matter.

I'm worthy.

I belong here.
