Poetry

To Be

like red is to be fierce, bold, and seen

And just maybe that’s what I like to be

But in truth, I’m more like the pale little blue chair. There, but no one cares.

I am not the focal point of the photo.

And I am okay with that, but sometimes I want to be seen and heard and not care what the outcome or judgment may be thrown at me.

All I know is that I want to be true to myself so that I will be in the front or the back, but I will know my worth doesn’t matter if others see me, but that I see me.
