Reading Him
His words give me power
They take me to a place
all my own
when I'm lost in my own
chaos I read him
I see him.I feel him.
He speaks my language
and pulls me out from
my deep space
suddenly I'm floating on
air and I'm powerful
I'm not afraid
After reading him he's
inside me soaking up
my toxic thoughts
and there I am at the top
of the world shouting
my heart out
They take me to a place
all my own
when I'm lost in my own
chaos I read him
I see him.I feel him.
He speaks my language
and pulls me out from
my deep space
suddenly I'm floating on
air and I'm powerful
I'm not afraid
After reading him he's
inside me soaking up
my toxic thoughts
and there I am at the top
of the world shouting
my heart out

There's not really a "him", but you're right Poet,we
all do need someone like him. Thanks for reading :)

This is beautiful, Tommie! This passage especially struck me:
"After reading him he's
inside me soaking up
my toxic thoughts "
Oh to be with someone who lifts you, constantly, to a higher plain and makes you think better of yourself and your surrounding world.

Knowing it's you doing the reading should give him a boost. Reading each other, even commenting, is the way to go. Mutual support at its best. Great job Tommie.
