Something To Call Yours

Find something.
Find one thing
You can love.
Something you can have
For yourself.
Something you can practice.
Something you can learn.
Find something you will breathe.
Breathe that one thing you call yours
And never let it go.
Find something to sing about-
To write about.
Find something you think
About day in and day out.
Find a part of you
You might have lost.
Something in your dreams-
Something in your heart.
Find something that
Will make you live
Again.
Something that will
Make you say
“Damn, I could improve.”
Find something that
Will give you a passion
Greater than yourself.
You will take this one thing that
You call yours and
Never let it go.
You will break if you lose it.
You will cry if you abuse it.
Find something-
Anything that will make you grow.
That will cause you to release
The part of you that was hidden.
Find something that will
Find you.
That will make you live.
Find something that will make you happy.
One thing that you will crave.
You will bleed this one thing
You call yours.
Find something to live by.
Something to love by.
For loving is only possible
With this one thing you
Call yours.
Find something that tears out your insides and builds you again.
Something that will make your
Heart pound faster.
That will tell you to keep going.
Find something that will grow and mold into your body.
That will sink into your soul.
Find something that will whip you
Until you bleed.
Until you succeed.
Find something that will love you.
That you will always have
To call yours.
Find something to call special.
Something that will make you ache
If you go just a second without it.
Find something that will wrap around
Your veins and squeeze you
Until you fly.
Find something you will resonate with.
Something you will cherish.
Something that will call out your name and
Tell you to follow.
Find something to call yours.

  1. I can't describe how the intensity of the piece heightens when you read it out loud. Absolutely stunning! Seriously, this is probably my favorite piece.
