Words
June 10, 2012
I look at your face
and I see courage.
It circles your irises,
colors your lips.
You wear the eyeliner of strength
and the lip balm of bravery.
Words that describe you
make up your visage,
words you should be proud of.
Some shadows of words
like “weird,” like “strange"
may ghost behind your eyes,
But I look at your face
and I see courage.
