An Ode to Medium

You are not just a platform

Dear Medium

Not a platform Not a community Not a tool Not one entity

You are a world of souls and wanderers You are a canvas for lovers, lunatics, and ponderers

You are a temple So revered A taste of heaven We savour And when the miseries Of life invade You are our sweet escape

When everything feels distant In this land, so unknown You are a place of solace You are my home

True to your name You’re truly a medium Between who I am And who I want to become

I pour my heart out to you Yet you stay with no dismay To my puzzle, you are the clue Silently, you show me the way

You listen, you don’t judge You stick around, my friend I am still oblivious to myself But YOU know who I am
