We people are just poems
- Ani DiFranco
We begin as a piece of paper,
blank,
merely blank?
There is unthinkable power in being blank.
There is an unwritten future,
endless potential,
to become.
Whether we begin as a recycled scrap,
billowing in the slums,
or in a scented and embossed "stationery set"
destined for empowerment speech drafts,
nothing is set in stone.
It is in the hands of the writer to determine how great it will be.
There's no such thing, as a saint without a history
Or a sinner without a future.
- Madina Lake
