“There was a kindness,
a generosity in how she sat with her characters
as they argued
and made love
and killed
and cared for children
and fed strangers.

There was a patience in her presence,
in her attention.

There was something about
that absolute narrative presence
that communicated this:

You are worthy to be seen.
You are worthy to be heard.
You are worthy to be sat with,
to be walked beside.
Even in your quietest moments,
you are worthy of witness.”

Jesmyn Ward,

Here is the moment
in which I realize my true worth,
endless potential
in which I dance the perfect harmony
in which I love, the absolute good
in which I grow the soul of being
every second of creation.

I am worthy to be held,
worthy to be loved,
worthy to be lifted,
worthy to succeed
in every desire
for our greatest good.

I am worthy to be seen,
worthy to be heard,
worthy to be valued.
I am powerful
just the way I am.
