Alive and Aspired
I am Monica
Of utmost subtlety in the heart
And complexity in the mind
I am not just a name
I am not just a cavity...
I am alive
My willing words don’t wilt
Like an ephemeral flower who cries to be heard
My eyes do see
Observe
React
I am very much intact
I will bleed red
I will cry salted tears
I will bubble with joy
Don’t expect me to be dry
Or drained
Or numbed
Feelings are meant to be felt
And I feel-
I feel very much
I hurt very much
I love very much
Because I am alive
My spirit is well kept
I feel it always charged inside of me
It makes my world kaleidoscopic
Splashes my world in color!
My eyes are the painters of life
Without them I wouldn’t know lifes’ effervescence
But I am alive
And well
With a heart filled to the brim with compassion
I let my smiling heart sit out in the open
It helps construct lives
And in the process it shall weep sorrow
All for a chance to experience and help
Because that’s what it means to be alive
My mind has no limitations
No things I dare to dream of
My mind is as vast as the sky and ocean
My dreams are as diverse as the stars that kiss the night sky
Only the brave dare crave such rich things!
Only the brave dare live life to its fullest
My thoughts are stars
That cannot be fathomed into constellations
But they burn bright-
I assure you-
They burn as bright as the brilliant sun
Day by day
Night by night
I am ever-growing
I am ever-transforming
Like the drops of water running down faces
Splashing the curb
I am an art form never to be distinguished
My hands create melodies in their purest form
With their fragile touch
And curvaceous manner
I have the power to resonate such vibrancy
Such exuberance
These tools I have-
Born into my heart and soul-
Born into my senses and actions-
Create the cunning creation I am today
I am alive
I am Monica
Of utmost radiance in the heart
And brilliance in the mind
I am not three syllables
I am not six letters
I am not just a cavity with functions…
I have wise words
And energetic eyes
I have determined dreams
And poetic palms…
I AM ALIVE
