I am

So

         Fly

That

 

Butterflies will rest

In the palms of my hand

And remember God

 

I am

So

        Fly

That

 

Rainbows fall from the

Corners of my smile

Cascading downward with a message

That it will never rain again

 

I am

So

       Fly

That

 

I step outside with

Makeup off

Legs unshaven

Stretchmarks and

Cellulite

Still feeling

Complete

Still feeling

Lovely

 

Because I am.

 

Looking into the camera lense like

I have it all.

Framing my soul as I am.

20 Feet Tall.

 

I am marvelous.

The stuff that

Stars are made of

Because I make it a point

To shine so brightly.

 

No adversity places a stain on my name because

I make it a point

To live so mightily. 

 

Yes,

I

AM

          Fly

and

SO

ARE

YOU.

 

In this world where we often

Look to others to

Determine our value . . .

All we have to do is

Look in the mirror.

 

Maybe then we will see how

            Fly

We ARE

A little more

Clearly.

 

No filter is needed

For us to love ourselves.

No filter is needed.

No creation of tall tales.

Because reality can be

As good as any fairy tale.

 

My beauty needs no

Filter.
