You are a poet
Expressing your mind and feelings
Shattered the broken glass ceiling
That told you what to do
You never believed in gender roles
And when the world realises
You will have seen your goal.

You articulated your thoughts on paper
With simple messages
Through open passages
I can remember one thing you told me
“**** WHAT OTHERS THINK”
your messages one by one began to sink
into my thick skull.
Everything you were and everything you are
kept my heart beating
and all the roses you built on solid soil
left me feeling different about myself.
As though I oozed of beauty
you’d call me cutie
dreamt of an inner beauty
rather than an external one
That is why i love you.
Your messages still relay in my head
“don’t let anyone ******* change you”
and my crumbling world reformed.
So as my mind riddled with insult thorns
you saw me as anything but ugly.
maybe that's why i can’t forget you
or maybe the world just can’t forget you
maybe we were never meant to be
but I know one thing is for sure
we don’t have to be , for me to love you.
