Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #176 & Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Extraordinary
some of us light up a room
shining extraordinary confidence
turn heads with our unusual and remarkable style
some of us quietly introduce our presence
exuding calm, zen and comfort
drawing others to us with ease
some of us shyly hide ourselves in corners
hoping to blend in, shunning inspection
invisible walls pulled up high
we are all worthy of attention
but with different needs
understand them
please honor them
**Note – I actually was a bookcover. 😉
So much truth to this piece, lovely. xoxoxo Joni
