Words

You make me feel big

Smart

Wise

Above it all.

But while you take wings and fly

I rest.

Watching you in silence

In wonder

Becoming you in anxiety

Believing your lies

And making them my truth.

You speak by yourself

And to yourself

But words

My words…

Although secretly I have seen you as rich

And I as poor

Today I see your poverty

And my immensity

It was after all

In my barren womb of nothingness

That your meanings were born.
