I was wondering about you.
You seem to never care
About what you’ve got inside
That is truly yours and no one else’s.
You appeared to disregard
How unique people can be
And you’ve built that illusion
Starting with yourself.
You probably began thinking that way
Because of her.
How full of herself she was.
How much she believed
That the world revolved around her,
And that everyone owed her,
And that she owned everyone;
That all that she has gained
She somehow has inherited from herself.
I think you both went too far.
Everybody is special –
It’s so different how we talk, eat, sleep.
Sickness makes us alike,
We ache in similar ways
Yet our skills are unique
And dreams are so wild
In contrast to everyone else’s.
You deny your special gifts as if it was a curse,
Just as she ignores others.
But our differences are true
And they can unite us
Making us stronger in many ways.
You think you need someone special in your life
But you need to know –
You already have one.
You should praise them,
Although with good measure.
This special one needs attention,
Care and support to bloom bigger,
Unleash artistic forces
So you could achieve greater things.
The powers that you so hard try to let go of
Or call insignificant, –
They are nothing of a kind.
