Inspiration

by Anne Moore   Nov 11, 2019


You are braver than I
You get up there
For everyone to see and
Do what you do best
Sing songs about
Love and loss
And everything in between

You are braver than I
To admit that
You love the opposite
Bodies as your own
And the same

You are braver than I
You throw away
All you grew up with
You throw away
Barbies and dresses
You throw away
All you were
Taught

You are braver than I
You spend your days
Head held high
Knowing its alright
To just be You
Even though you
Go home every night
Knowing that it’s all fake

You are braver than I
Even though
You’ve wanted to
Die since age nine
But you’ve kept on
Living everyday
For people who
Ended up leaving

You are braver than I
You are true inspirations
You are the ones I look up to
And not only because I am short
