I am beyond…
Beyond the nib.
More than the ink that stains the page
More than the words that try to express
The essence of who I am
Faded, faint, but holding on
To the end
I will not disappear. I will be
Indelible
Indestructible
Invincible, worthy and powerful
When I find myself again –
Through the tears
Of self doubt
These tears
That stain the page
Hold within them
The essence of who I am
More than the ink
Faded, faint, but holding on
To the end.
I am beyond
the nib.
