Occasionally, I delve into the world of poetry. The following is a poem I wrote a few weeks ago (September 2022). Check out another recent poem of mine.
Be loyal to me You said you'd stay And if I fall flat on my face, Will you fall with me and pray? Ill at the thought Of a calendar flip, Of a plane ride, a goodbye, And a one-way trip. This body is different. This mind is now mine, Freer to roam Averse to "I'm fine." Sure, "I'm fine." As in "fragile in flesh" As in cautiously moving, aware of the line Where my fortitude crumbles and humanity shines. This body has curves, This mind has dreams. So unknown a future, so known is my King So onward, on fire, onlookers beware If you're looking for the old Hannah, She is no longer there. I won't leave me World War Me is done Wreckage salvaged, warming in the sun When I fall, I feel human Wrapped in fine fragility To swiftly be gathered in By divine visibility. I will be loyal to me I will fight to stay Armored in authenticity Courageous to stand, fight, and pray
