I Am More
Location
What defines me cannot be found in a dictionary
Flipping the pages until you reach the J's then filling in the blanks -o, -e, -y,
Does not mean a word sentence definition is the sum of all my parts
I am more than the four letters that spell my name
More than the two syllables you learned to count by how many times your jaw hit your hand
No do not pretend to understand who I am when you offered two minutes to dissect my diction
What defines me cannot be found in a dictionary
When looking at my colors, get rid of that ROYGBIV mindset
Instead pull out a color wheel
Observe the different tones and different hues
Realize that the seven colors of the rainbow do not create my entire spectrum
I cannot be grouped by my appearance the way colors are when forming color palettes
Do not tell me I am red when I know you are colorblind
When looking at my colors, get rid of that ROYGBIV mindset
Unlike words in a thesaurus, I have no synonyms
Who I am has no place being compared to who others are
My characterisitcs belong to me the same way yours belong to you
Minor traits can be shared, but this does not support that I am the same as someone else
Stop searching for words that are better than me to make the essay you call life more appealing
Quit scavenging for a better me than me; I promise there is no other
Unlike words in a thesaurus, I have no synonyms
Fold the map, put it in the dashboard
Do not merely look at me and believe you have the directions to navigate my maze of complexity
Stop staring at others preconceived knowledge of who I am
A compass will not give you the directions needed to navigate these dirt roads
Look out the window, look at who I am rather than what I appear to be
Look at the personality inside of me; no one visists places to take pictures of their maps
Fold the map, put it in the dashboard
I am more than what my pictures show
The filter may remove some of my physical traits but it also filters out my personality
A picture is worth a thousand words
I am not worth a thousand words
I am worth much much more than that
Borders of wood may frame my pictures, but my appearance does not frame who I am inside
I am more than what my pictures show
I am more than definitions of words
I am more than just the plain colors of the rainbow
I am more than what is compared to me
I am more than my outward appearance
I am more than what my pictures show
I am more.
