Dear Everyone

Dear Everyone,

Though the lies of your mind may chain you

And judgments of society cage you

Stand up.

You are yours alone.

No one can own you.

You are the maker of your home.

Stand up

There are those who seak to fly you to the top.

And there are those who shove until you are more than six feet under.

Stand up.

You are free

and loved

and able to go after your dreams.

Stand up

With all the love from a past anomaly,

And with all the hope from at future out at sea,

Forever your wings,

Me in 2018
