I revive from the dirt I buried myself
Stinking stains of doubts, insecurity, and fear.
I revive from the abyss of no good I often find myself
Where I break into bits and pieces
As though the fall of galaxies at Thanos snap
An abyss of what was, what is and what is to be.
I revive from the storms of actions and reactions
I stumbled on day in and day out
Actions and reactions of opposers, faultfinders, psychopaths
More often than not, my mind, my weapon of destruction.
Today and in this moment,
I rise with a smile so radiant and beautiful
Lighting up the darkest of skies
A smile wrapped in shades of confidence
Strengthened by affirmations of my unique being
And in the stamina of calm, positive reaction.
Today, my mind, my weapon of glory.
I revive above me, her, him, they and them
With a memorable smile
a formidable display of my blessed dental formula.
I revive.
