Accepting Diversity Myself

An abandoned riverbed lay between What I know is in my mind to be true And the dejected stares of another For I refuse to be ashamed and bruised A charge of purpose brightens the concept That freedom applies to few: and many Beauty thrives within freedom, so thank you For being you and letting me be me (In Iambic Pentameter) 4/25/2016 Beauty and Diversity Contest
