I rarely post two pieces by the same poet, but whether recent or older, these seemed to mesh well together. They made me think that those people who are purposefully unique tend to end up being a beloved someone. 🙂
Someone
There is always
someone
who is our weakness
Always someone
who breaks through
all our defenses.
Always someone
who leaves us
breathless.
Unique
Do not allow yourself
to be defined
or guided
or labeled
or maligned
by your sexuality
your age
your birthplace
or your race
or the proud colour
of your face.
Do not allow yourself
to be judged, measured
or explained
by the dead hand
of tradition
or by the racist misogyny
of religion
or by the empty
expectations
of others
and what they want
to see.
For you
are you
and only you.
Unique
special
beautiful
and free.
