There’s a reason we write about
invisible feelings and forgotten times
There’s a season we might sprout
if we break the narrative of usual rhymes
We live and experience, succeed and fail
but only we decide the ending of each tale
Just like we write about topics and concepts
we ignore thyself like it’s just nonsense
I wrote about myself last week
and the challenge was unique
I write about the expansiveness of life beyond the sky
like it’s as easy as eating pie
And some say, that’s just the way it goes
writing about thyself has its woes
But to me, it should be a celebration
of what it means to be you, to be creation
So, when I sat down to write today
it started as a reflection of my display
Until I came to a stop and remembered
it wasn’t my truth, just words assembled
So, when I stop typing and reread this
part of me will most likely resist
But when I lean back and read beyond the eyes
most of me will see the progress as the inner prize

Author’s Note – Last week, I had to write a bio about myself for a new opportunity…and it was so much tougher than I thought :). Even though I know myself well, to put it into concrete words was not an easy task…I remember thinking “I can write about reality in a million different forms and make it rhyme like it’s nothing but writing about me seems like such a challenge.” So, I knew I needed to dive into this topic today.
If you don’t know what to write about and are looking for a prompt, let this be your sign to write about you. Challenge yourself and celebrate all that you are…it’s an experience we all need to feel a little more. This is titled “real life” because this is real life…facing thyself as who you are not who you were or who you could be.
