Another one I liked
Meaning
The need to be special
Runs so deep,
To see oneself in a way
That validates the inner core.
Fragility part of the condition
We call humanity,
Wanting the acceptance
Of those we value.
We know that by all
We cannot be accepted,
Choosing the important ones
A big part of the exploration.
Seeking of self,
Seeking of meaning,
Dispelling the strong need
To be always correct.
Walking in others’ shoes
Is part of this path,
Without this our feelings echo,
Purely a hollow resounding.
We are all unique,
With commonalities aplenty,
But our own truths exist
Developing as we grow.
Where this will take us
Is not the question to ask,
The journey important
Wherever it may lead.
