Words To Heed
poems that speak of my life and my insight
by: Jessica S. Manning

a flower in the middle of a desert

alone and waiting for a friend.

Sensitive, compassionate, and strong-willed.

I like feeling protected.

Respect, friendship and love are important to me.

I like seeing happiness in people's lives.

I am quick to jump to conclusions,

but the laughter it brings breaks tension.

I am white,

but my heart is multi-colored embracing everyone I meet.

This is me. I am.
