I believe
That all of us have words within us
And that when we put pen to paper
Filling up pages
In black and white
We offer our experiences to others
We offer our burdens up
And our triumphs
And together
We fill shelves with the human experience
Giving an order
To an often disorderly universe
And for that
We ought to thank one another
For holding those words
Tucked neatly on bookshelves
A reminder
That we collectively bear the weight
Of what it means to be here
Together
