Poem:
I couldn't be sure what my greatest expression was.
Running or poetry? Reducing a decade of work,
into a singular expression,
felt unfair.
Narrowing a light,
doesn't make the object shine brighter.
It doesn't change the object,
nor does it change the feeling towards it.
Narrowing gives us focus,
and sometimes clarity,
and walls to play between.
Parameters build side walls,
and remove ceilings.
I let running and poetry act as parameters,
and in turn,
they removed the ceiling of expression.
To put a ceiling on expression,
would destroy,
numb,
and reduce,
all that we were put here to do.
Express.
Express something so true,
that the side walls fall away,
no longer able to hold the power,
the fury,
the energy,
of something that needs to be said,
something,
that must be felt.
