Power Poetry – Everything Is Awesome Poetry Slam
 
I Am In Awe of Some, Where Some Is Everything
 
 
 
Every little thing in my vicinity is beautiful to me.
 
From cars to stars
 
Media to meteor
 
Cookies and creams to sweet dreams, and all other things in between.
 
But why praise the craft when I could praise the creator, the one who is greater than them all.
 
You who created some that induces awe is more awesome than some
 
…Where some is everything.
 
YOU are MY EVERYTHING, so everything is just a sub category of you ...Including me.
 
You are the air that I breathe
 
The shirt to my sleeve
 
The (hatchu*) “Bless You!” to my sneeze
 
The ‘O’ to my ‘P’ AND the ‘Q’ after
 
The cap to my knee, and the skin around it ‘cuz you protect me
 
…Everything is Awesome.
 
My soul cries from the inside out and my flesh dies as I conform to your image…which is to be Awesome.
 
Procrastination
 
Masturbation
 
Blindness
 
Emptiness
 
Bitterness
 
Laziness
 
I’m sick of this!
 
Take this!
 
I give you all of me.
 
So you can make me new like fresh out of Mother’s womb with the umbilical cord still attached.
 
…But make me attached to you.
 
Thank you for loving me. I’m glad that you are love.
 
Help me to love you
 
Help me to You you
 
and Help me to You me cuz There is no me without you. 
 
You opened my eyes for the first time so that I could realize the beauty
 
The beauty inside, outside, eastside, Westside
 
…All sides.
 
You opened my ears so that I could hear the song that all of creating sings for you.
 
You opened my heart and let love in and out.
 
You made me realize that everything is awesome.
