Words by Zoe Gomez Cassardo<br />
I looked around<br />
with beady eyes<br />
and found out<br />
that everyone was awarded a word<br />
A rewarding word,<br />
it was,<br />
like a visa<br />
to wander freely<br />
–and safely–<br />
around the world<br />
When no one was looking<br />
I pocketed someone else’s word,<br />
plop!<br />
From that day onwards<br />
I carry that word with me<br />
and<br />
–when in doubt–<br />
I would take it out of my pocket<br />
and display it up high<br />
Several years have passed by<br />
and I struggle to remember:<br />
that word<br />
–and its rewards–<br />
were never mine<br />
