My Person

                                          

For my Person

the world needs people like you.

people who care,

who allow vulnerability into their lives,

who don't run at the first sign of complexity,

who invest time and effort into what they want,

who are tolerant and open-minded,

welcoming and caring.

people who are soft

with a fierce heart.

people who are not scared

to hold their ground when faced

with conflict and derision.

we need you.

we hope to be you.

thank you for existing,

for speaking up,

for holding on,

for being who you are.
