Making Meaningful Connections

life has a way
of making you
forget who you are
it will tell you
what fashion to wear
what music to listen to
what not to eat
and how to behave
what religion you should belong to
and who to vote for
to be the next King
but none of that matters
what really matters
is knowing who you are
loving yourself
so you have more love
to give others
how you touch
another person's life
can cause a ripple effect
around the world
you are an imaginary line
touching millions
remembering who you are
is more important
than who they tell you
you are
