19 Syllables

For the 100-day project in 2014, I wrote a poem every day that was 19 syllables in total spread across 5 lines: 3, 4, 5, 4, 3. I continued this challenge in January 2015 and still add new ones frequently. View them all on Instagram under #19syllables. Enjoy. ❤️

on forgiveness —
myself and others.
I’m not sure which
is harder.

Love exists
in small moments
and tiny gestures
even more than
spoken words.

Do not wait
to find courage.
It will find you when
you take your first
steps forward.

“No regrets,”
I sometimes say.
“Keep moving forward.”
But my heart says,
“There are some.”

She called me
vulnerable
in both life and work.
I gazed at her,
lacking words.

It took years
to realize this:
It’s not about me.
It’s just their choice.
And that’s fine.

I wanted
to have value,
so I created
things of value
for others.
