Who You Are

Happy June! I start a new job today. Apprehensive but excited. I'll keep on posting here, regardless. It has more to do with my kooky side which I love indulging.

I wrote this for a friend a little while ago, because she'd forgotten...



They whisper
and you think
they're talking
about you.

No.

They're just talking.

It's words
that spill over
each other
and words
don't mean
a thing.

I should know.

Who you are
is beyond the words
it's beyond the doors
slammed in your face
and beyond the ones
who turn away.

That's not who you are.
That has nothing to do with you.

Don't let them fool you
don't let them make you think
that you're beaten
that this is it
and you're done.

you're not.

That's not who you are.

The first time I saw you
I saw you!

Remember?

And I thought,
wow.

You wanna know
something?
I still think,
wow.

Who you are
is beyond them.

They may never see
But it doesn't matter
It doesn't change
you.

I can describe you with words
it wouldn't tell anyone
anything
words never do.

So remember,

Remember...

Remember!

Don't buy into the nightmare
Don't buy into the lies
Don't let them make you forget

Who

You

Are.
