You Are Just You Poem by Rae Seagull

You are
Not what the world thinks you are
You are
Not your name
You are
Not what you say you do for a living

You are
Just you

You are
The voice that I love to hear
You are
The warmth that I yearn to feel
You are
The love that I always seek

You are
Who I want to make mine forever
You are
The face with deep and beautiful eyes
You are
The one I wish would always hold me safe

You are
The secret sacred image in my heart
You are
A coy slanting smile
You are
A tilt of your wise head

You are
Someone who wants to challenge the world
You are
The silent one
You are
Mute, because you dare not speak the truth

You are
The voice in my head

You are
The ache in my belly

You are
Just you

You are
The eager fire in my soul
