AN E M P T Y ROOM

The beauty of an empty room
is that there are zero expectations
on what you are to be doing
but for your own

This empty space- this blank page
begs you to create upon, up, down,
around, on the floor and walls,
through every atom of it

Dance, sing, paint, recite,
beg of the gods, 
curse your demons,
relentlessly and unabashedly
do your living loudly!

And if you ever forget the
incredible, malleable power of an empty room,
if you ever find yourself
with tears in eyes
clutching a pillow
diary-whining about loneliness,
may you remember this-

THIS MOMENT

When you discovered the absolute joy
of an empty room
a space for you alone
enough space for you
and all your
you-ness to
EXPLODE!
