You!
written by: Dawn Minott
Mirror, mirror—what do you see?
No masks, no tales, the truth of me.
Full lips, proud nose, skin sun-kissed like earth at dusk.
Wearing hair-itage like a crown,
a symphony of strength and soul.
Let them look—
The questioning gaze.
You were never made for their approval.
You were made to radiate.
To take up space.
To shift rooms.
No need to chase what already lives within.
No need to mold what was meant to be free.
You are the art, the standard, the source.
Unapologetically the quintessential you.
Creative soul. Artsy to the core. Poet, Speaker, Author. An unapologetic lover of God, of love and of all things nature. Hardcore logophile with an epigrammatic style. I am motivated to write from observing what I believe God created-by-design like nature, family, love, and relationship. My work has been published in anthologies, magazines and newspapers then I later wrote and published my first book: “Moments: A Poetic Heart Journey”. And I continue to write. When I’m not writing creatively, I work for an international organization to promote social progress, better living standards and human rights.
