No One Else Poem by Zena Blank

I can’t compare you to anyone
No one else is like you

No one else has that jaw
The one you hate so much

No one else has stripes on their skin
The ones you wish people would stop mentioning

No one else has your strong well-informed opinions
The ones you have no fear in sharing

No one else has the stories you do
The ones that take all your strength to tell

No one else has eyes that light up like yours
The ones that captured my heart.
