I LIVE !!!!!

Why must you be so hard on yourself ?

Sure you get woeful when you look in the mirror and see

how colorful you are and don’t wish to be.

You sit

you see

the vitiligo unsightly

 

The colors

so bold

The new

some old

 

The patterns

the shapes

The feelings

of hate

 

You ponder

And think

The world you’re in

unfair this is your fate

 

You pray

You hope

For the day it will evoke,

a change, a cure

Alas, relief from what you’ve had to endure

 

You can

You should

Be strong in mind

Be strong in heart

Don’t let vitiligo dictate who you are

　

And so I conclude;

The world is yours

Live, rejoice and don’t just be alive

It is what you make it, and from it don’t hide!
