Mark My Words

Mark my words
This pen will shake souls
Mark my words
This paper will move bodies to be bold

This handwriting will open mouths
The curve of each letter will unclench fists
After eyes have scrolled every line,
Solidarity and wholeness- no one will be able to resist

Mark my words, I persist

These pages will change the world
Letters drenched in love
And acceptance and feelings of,
"You're not alone"

Yes, these words will set a new world tone.
