identity, fragile as a word or a feel,

a reflection of who we are.


we express ourselves.


even when we hide 

& keep our true selves busy,


hibernating as bears in the dark,

the winter, the untouched cave;


imagine how much brighter the stars

shine without layers of misperceptions.


we grow when it’s safe—spring

showers uncover buried flowers.


summer rays blossom fullness.


uniqueness

breaks down the barriers between us;


embrace our identities

to find beauty in every person.
