The theme of National Poetry Day 2015 is light. Here is a new one:
An abuser is a heat-seeking missile
Why you?
Because you burn bright
And warm.
They were drawn to your beacon
As are moths.
As are friends.
Resist the temptation
To see your signs of life
As signs of weakness.
Do not view the world as they do.
Though you still feel the threat of it
Remember:
Very few will view
Your light
Through cross-hairs.
Do not camouflage or draw shades:
Walk tall and proud.
Illuminate your own path
Spilling light like water
As soft wings flutter
To be near you.
