I learned in science class
we are composed
of stardust,
from exploding stars
that combust
and form minerals
that create our teeth,
and pump through our blood.
Whether you believe
in a religion
or theories of evolution,
i think we can all agree
that we were wonderfully
and fearlessly made.
On mornings when i wake up
and dislike what i see,
i want to remember
i am composed
of something beautiful
and fierce,
i am one of a kind.
