Poetry

I’m Part of It

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Cleaning up. Taking stock of my insides. The

mental and the physical. Tracking the beginnings of

weeds I’ve long forgotten. And they run so deep, touching

every inch of these veins. It hurts, but of course it does.

I’m part of it as much as it’s become a part of us.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

    Some weeds actually make beautiful flowers. If I were looking at what had grown that no longer served me in my inner garden, I would always hesitate to pull those. I guess I’m one that likes some of my wilder flowers. They truly are a part of me. What’s that expression: “No pain, No gain!”

    Step through your own shadows. Peel away what is not any more . The weeds remind me of where I’ve been , who I am .
