Ok so i was poking around in the crappy poetry diary
www.leftyincognito.deardiary.net
and i found something fun…

“There are some things
that come with time
One thing learned
is wisdom earned
some with books
and looks
and ties
and sometimes someone’s
social ties

And there are things
that can’t be taught
no matter how
the battle’s faught
to learn
to earn
the right to know
what someone who
has learned it shows

and that takes simple
time and strength
and pain
and fear
some quiet yelling
telling courage
of what’s shown
one searching
for themself
is not alone.”
