You know what today?
You?
You know.
You?
Listen?
I’m not a mother?
I’m not even a good person some of the time.
But it isn’t about me.
This is about you?
You who questions all the time
You who breaks the mirror from time to time
You who welcomes the blood
You who forgot when you were born
The world is broken
You are not
You don’t tie that noose
no matter what New Age figure
No matter what Jesus Speaker
No matter what prophet
No matter what president
Bullies you to believe you do not know you
You can not be you
You can not choose you
You can not live in a world
where you can not be happy as you
Then they can speak to me
And I will tell you
Whatever God or Goddess or Influencer or Billionaire
makes you feel anything else but perfect
even if you’re not a good person some of the time
It isn’t about them
This is about you?
You who questions all the time.
Who breaks the rules from time to time.
Who welcomes the pain
Who forgot who you were before you were born.
Who came innocent to fix the broken world
You didn’t want to miss time
by leaving early
you knew we were all equal
no matter where we sat in life
or what podium we had in front of us
or how much money we had
our trials were perfect
nothing we did was wrong
we all played a part
and we all deserved to be loved
and accepted
You.
Wake up.
to You.
