em voz alta

I love to read out loud and hear
My voice saying things that didn’t come from me
But that I wish were mine

When I say I’m starting lineages and kingdoms
I feel like a creator and a queen
I see myself in her, her

I love to read out loud to get
My tongue around words I wouldn’t easily use
Words that feel like treasures when spoken

I talk, jot down, memorize
To remember to use later
In a letter to beautiful people
With Victory in an interview
In a fight or in therapy
In my music, ah
In my music, ah
In my music, ah
In my music, ah
