There you were

Mysterious~~~Unknown

Some might think I am foolish to let you in

I am aware that you can be dangerous

There is no mold

Traditional or otherwise

In which you would comfortably fit

Then again

I have often pondered

Just who it is that sets life's guidelines

So many self-appointed judges

So many imprisoned minds

How refreshing to know that you are genuine

At times you are

Quirky, wild, edgy, passionate, sexual

And genuine

At times you are

Opinionated, outspoken, willing to fight

And genuine

You can be caring, open, funny and playful

You can be dark, mean-spirited and dominating

But genuine

Be fearless

Go there

Look into that preciously brutal mirror

And realize

That you

Are me
