A free verse poem, inspired by my beloved man who gives me the strength to fight every day
I've never claimed to be perfect.
         But for you, I'll try.
I'll open my heart and deliver every beat to your doorstep, pour every ounce of love into the kiss you drink from these lips.
I'll dig a hole under the wall so you can scurry in, assess the damage, and make your choice.
         You chose to stay.

I've never claimed to know it all.
         But for my own sake, I'll learn.
I'll spend my days feeling the sun pressing it's heat into my skin, and bury myself under books and experiences.
I carry my hatchet, hack out new spaces to store knowledge of who I am, what you are, and what my world has become.
         I'll learn how to be better.

I've never claimed to be special.
         But for the world, I'll find my gift.
I'll find my cause, and lead a revolution. Every moment spent fighting for the fallen, screaming for the voiceless, and offering hands to those who were once left behind.
         Together, we'll move mountains.
