FIRST PERSON
Who was the first person to insist
you couldn’t be yourself?
A parent, a teacher, a peer?
“Listen up kid
that’s not how we do things ‘round here
don’t dance like that, don’t be so loud
don’t be so proud, don’t be so weird
just be a good girl, just be a real man
just do what we say and stick to the plan
we have for
your life”
But you are something greater
& you cannot shake that feeling
no longer pretending you are less
is the first day of healing
