We are oysters

The world is your oyster

salty and stinky, yet tasty 

Graphic by Christina Mehr.

the harder you work, the easier it opens up to you

the world is there for you to conquer

but remember everyone else is bonkers 

carried by the currents 

as the wind flows, I sit here pondering that all is well

and that one day soon, I will be like the oyster shell

embedded in the sand 

decaying in the ground 

listening to the land

for it tells me my worth 

to feel and be one with the earth
