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.
