I see you
Your hopes and dreams
I see the fears you hold
The worries that keep sleep away
You for all the ways
That you are truly uniquely you
You are not a sum of arbitrary things
Details to be checked off a list somewhere
You are you
Unique from all others
Much like a snowflake
One of many yet unlike all others
I see you and understand
Why it can seem easy to be part of a crowd
Lost in it
To feel less lost
Yet it’s that very erasure of yourself
That fuels the unrest that rises within
I see you amidst the crowd
For who you are and who you want to be
Losing that is injustice to yourself
And to those denied getting to know you
I see you not for any aspect of appearance
But for the very content of your character
It is in that dream
That so clearly I can see you
