A Simple Reminder Poem by Leah Ellis

I whistle a hollow tune.
Bitter to the taste but sweet in sound.
The clouds pass over leaving a sad grey sky behind.
The stars come out with their normal glow.
But on the inside I still feel sorrow.
For what reason, I am not quite certain.
But it is in the darkness I see;
All the beautiful creatures,
Beautiful voices,
And beautiful people I will never be.
But that is OK.
I may not be perfect.
I am rough at the edges.
But I am me!
And that is all I’ll ever need to be!
