The Impossibles (prompt: impossible/possible)


We are the “impossibles”
The mindless
Civilization-less
Country-less
Religion-less
History-less
Legacy-less
People.
Broken, stolen, ravaged, perverted, deserted, converted…
The unforgettable, forgotten
The powerful, powerless
The entrepreneurs without institutions
Yes we are the impossible
The “how did you make it this far”
The survivors
The mysteries
The children of generations who told us what we couldn’t be
The students of teachers who would have us believe our dreams are impossible fantasies
But such is our very family tree
There is nothing I can’t achieve
Because I am a walking impossible
So POSSIBLE is my destiny!

  1. Appreciate the commentary on the hypocrisy inherent in the idea that we "can't"
    Always love it when we speak encouragement to ourselves
