from me to you
with confidence, I say
I don’t intend to look like another
to resemble my father or brother
for our blood line is not always our hearts align
her soft shoulders and widened hips
thin and painted fingertips
pleasing to the eye
but never satisfied inside
my inner and outer strength is matched
good and bad days
they’re still attached
growth is not linear
but faith
faith will take you in and through the climb
mine may not look like yours
and that’s quite alright
as long as you stay true to yourself
mind and body
spirit and soul
life won’t pass you by
and neither will I
