Me
I'm familiar with the rain and am at home
within the storm
I was conceived in a tornado of family pain
& the earth shook when I was born
I treat everyone the same for in them I envision
another me
I relate to all though not related to this extended
family tree
To this world I've given all of me, sacrificing self
to find my peace
My old self perished with the old world as it was
rendered obsolete
I pieced together the puzzle you know as me before
I walked with a different name
I walk with blind faith inspired by what you call the light
& I suggest you do the same
