This I Believe

This poem was inspired by a book published through NPR called:

This I Believe

i believe not in destinations

but rather in progression

through eccentric self expressions

relinquished material possessions

long lasting impressions

and those never ending,

unanswered questions.

i believe there are no guarantees

but that there is always a chance

endless chances

for unexplained circumstances

full of hasty advances

of soft glances

and slow dances

bold stances

in romances

resulting in love trances

i believe the chance is...

always a possibility.

see i believe that that possibility

could possibly set our minds free

free from insurmountable insecurity

to random acts of kindness and courtesy

from societies product driven impurity

to introspective reflection and maturity 

till you feel completely assured you see, just how

possible 

possibilities

can possibly be.

i believe we're finally paying attention.

i believe in family first

not defined as an oppressive proposition wants so desperately to disseminate

in an effort to dictate

my fate....

no see, i'm talking about blood family

and the family i make

relationships i conjugate

with passers by 

best friends

each and everyone of my soul mates

based on respect, trust, passion and love

rather than the importance of being straight.

i believe my voice is gettin loud...

i believe there is nothing more beautiful

and better for this world

than every individual finding their own path

that uplifts spirits 

and compliments their very core

opens doors

to everything their weary hearts and minds 

have endlessly been searching for.

see i believe in possibility

the possibility of truly knowing myself

to possibly set myself free

through no promise

and no guarantee...

but simply the possibility....

the possibility...

to believe in me.

what do you believe?
