North

I want to head north 
to see a writer.
The one I know that's strong 
The patient one. The fighter. 

The one I know 
but wish I knew more 
the one I just saw 
but miss more now than ever before 

The writer who's beautiful to me
inside and out  
who follows his own path 
who picks a different route 

This writer who loves 
people for who they are 
who embraces the unique 
and loves races near and far 

This writer who shows me 
how to be stong
for myself and everyone else, 
and that it's okay sing my own song 

This writer who cares 
about all kinds of art 
this writer who is passionate 
and has a huge heart

So thank you writer 
For being who you are 
I will come back north soon
I will follow the star.
