My Hands.

My hands are too small. 

I want my hands to be like giants, 

To have the power to hold the world in my palm. 

I want to drag an ocean to my bedroom with my fingertips. 

I want my hands to be so big 

I will have the ability to take someone by their collar

of whom ever wronged me

and tell them;

"My Hands Are Big." 

I want my hands to be a source of energy 

because my hands are big. 

But on the other hand, (I love puns...)

My hands aren't small enough. 

I want my hands to be so small 

I could feel overpowered my by little brother.

I want the ability to place my hand 

on a giant masterpiece 

and feel the inhuman energy radiate

through my small hand. 

I want my hands to be so small 

I can reach under the largest mountain

and still be able to move my fingers. 

I want my hands to be so small, 

I could type an essay and lose weight. 

But then I think, 

I like my hands. 

I like the below average nature of

My Hands.

I like to trace the almost invisible

Tiny

Veins on my hands 

which struggle to make space

to transfer blood 

Because my wrists are small. 

I love every crease, 

fold,

And double jointed bend

I see when I lay by hand down. 

I love my tiny fingertips. 

I love the idea that i have the capability 

to fit my hand between the space between

my bed and the wall. 

I Love

My Hands.
