You Don’t Know Me

You don’t know

Me,

You so quick

To color my

Life in tragedy

But there’s something

Greater

Than that

What the “world”

Thinks

Limits me .

You don’t know

Me

The Ones

So quick

To offer

Pity

It’s not a gift

It’s an anchor

And I won’t

Be tied down.

You don’t know

Me

The Ones

Who look

And see whats

Broken

But can’t you

See there’s

Beauty

In

Brokenness

And strength

Even in fear.
