self-esteem poem

you are a ray of sunshine in an otherwise darkened room
you are better than the taste of salt and vinegar chips near the ocean
better than a hot thermos of tea in wind-whip and rain
better than the cool change after a week-long 40-plus heatwave
you are the best decision someone, somewhere, has ever made
you are enough

I think that anyone who thinks that they could never pull a trigger at another person’s face
Should spend twelve hours alone in a room with seven mosquitoes
And see how long it takes them to become a mass murderer
