Making Me Uniquely Me

Some of the elements of our personality
Are developed while still in the womb
Being evinced from the moment of our birth
It is this innate magnetism that draws us,
First, to our mother’s breast, then develops
Who and what we are, in family, in friendships,
Becoming a singular entity, unlike anyone,
Attracted, in likes and dislikes, to another.
What makes us personable? Desirable?
To be sure, no other surpasses our selfness
For we are without an equal in our reality--
Innate magnetism making me uniquely me.

Michael Tor October 16, 2022 at 4:52 PM With eight billion people on earth we are each different. Personalities also are different, there is only one you. The creator is a genius in creating and our parents in shaping us into who we are today. Thanks for sharing Milton... L Milton Hankins October 16, 2022 at 5:46 PM I certainly think so, Michael. Imagine that no two fingerprints are alike! Heredity. DNA. Amazing!!!
