She persists

She pushes you to do great things

and make the world your own

She sparks the colors in you

with a splash of paint

or using poetic words

She brings out beauty

where one would least expect it

She is unique

but the crowds will mock you

for being associated with Her

simply for the way She makes you special

She is dangerous to them

She defies their control

and they want you to blend

into a dull, colorless world

if She doesn’t fit their limitations

they will strike you down

and slowly but surely

shrink Her down to their size

to fit the norm

drift away from Her

She fades from your mind

and who you thought you were

goes with Her...
