What Do You Have

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Catastrophe Jones

What do you have
to say for yourself,
you who are by design
the smallest, the least,
the worst of all of us,
daring to stand up,
daring to present,
daring to pretend
you are something
you are not,
are something more
than you must be,
are something we all
should have been,
had we not forgotten
our blood,
our voices,
ourselves.

About Catastrophe Jones

Wretched word-goblin with enough interests that they're not particularly awesome at any of them. Terrible self-esteem and yet prone to hilarious bouts of hubris. Full of the worst flavors of self-awareness. Owns far too many craft supplies. Will sing to you at the slightest provocation.
