She Is


She Is

She is a humble spirit, seeking validation
Believe.
Her roads traveled – plentiful with complication

She is a voluptuous beauty, so poetically stoic and solid
Dance.
Her kind wisdom leaves the most impoverished soul nourished

She is an imperfectly perfect being, desiring hope
Manifest.
Her mind’s fabric adorned with the lessons of old

She is a spit-fire tongue, disguised under introversion
Recoil.
Her sense of humor is threaded through every dimension

She is a damaged soul who owes the world nothing
Give.
Her compassion makes social justice the song she sings

She is a delicately strong dreamer, wanting balance
Contemplate.
Her nights spent in solitude – sheltered by distance

She is a despondent lover, grieving for honesty
Forgive.
Her broken heart reminds her that she is not worthy

She is a dangerous alternative to the brainwashed norm
Educate.
Her own raw human experience in a cold world does not allow her to conform

She is me.
