The world

made me thankful

The world

gave me words

of love

of hate

of passion

I am thankful

for my words

words are capable

of expressing thoughts

ideas

oneself

I am thankful

for expressing myself

The world

gave me voice

to fight for rights

I am thankful

for letting my voice out

out to the skies

to the group

to those who need it

The world

gave me a chance to living

living, being alive

stay here

awake

alive

I am thankful

for the right to be alive

The world

Gave me nature

to feel it

inside

outside

of me

thank you, world

for letting nature exist

persist

and resist

I am alive

an artist

and a lover

thank you for letting me be that!
