I Can Change We

Mankind made language; however, it is people who communicate it.

No other word has the power of the pronoun,​ ​I​.

A single letter, a single syllable, and a single word... but with no single meaning.

I​ ​is not a singular thing; instead,​ ​I ​is a universe of things.

I​ ​is diverse, unique, and personal, like each of us.

I​ am tall…​I​ am Brazilian…​I​ am American…​I​ ​am silly…​I​ ​am autistic…​I​ am an avid writer…​

I​ ​am so many things...

Mostly though,​ ​I​ is always changing.

The world may need the collective ​WE​,​ ​in order​ ​to succeed.

But the singular ​ME ​matters, because without it, ​WE​ cannot change.

I​ ​feel ready to start to make change.

I​ ​feel the power of others changing around me.

I ​matter because​ ​I ​can change ​WE​.
