Validation, Resounding

Words I never thought I would hear
Come back to me so crystal clear
Sounding
Re
Sounding
Com
Pounding
All my inferiorities

I wonder what life would look like
If I sit still
In the light
I’ve been combing through the darkness
Searching for a —
An intervention that will never come

Awaken my senses
To confront the parts of me
I left behind
I abandoned

All my fears in the trenches
The war of a lifetime
The battle of my bloodline

Do you see this as a reckoning?
The pivot in the story line
I climax
And fall in silence

Words
What’re they good for?
