Look Beyond. {Poem}

Starry eyes

Look beyond my crooked teeth,

I am Light,
I am happiness,
I am the words,
That need to be said,
I am all that has been broken,
And mended back again.

Look beyond my silence,
I am Intelligence,
I am astute,
I am a million thoughts,
That never sleep,
I am the divine chaos,
to silence your mind’s anarchy.

Look beyond my weakness,
I am Strength,
I am resilient,
I am the storm,
That I had to brave,
And I am the quiet tranquility,
To your volatility.

Look beyond my eccentricity,
I am Change,
I am hope,
I am a galaxy,
of dreams and mayhem,
I am the root,
Of Tomorrow.

I am The Universe,
In an unfurling flower bud,
And you choose to see,
What I choose to show.

Look beyond,
Awe awaits you.
