Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

- Echo -

Use your voice - say what you mean
      Do not stand in the shadow
      Do not become an echo of someone else's opinion
      We must accept ourselves and each other
      Even the perfect diamond
      may have cracks and faults

Bauke Kamstra March 21, 2014 at 9:20 AM It must be in the accepting of each other's flaws that you bring in the cracked diamond. Not entirely certain how this relates to asserting one's truth.
