My White Scarf

MY WHITE SCARF !!!!

I wear my white scarf every where I go

Some question why I wear it and some honestly just don’t know

I wear it proudly not because I fancy it to be

But frankly because I love myself though it beckons to become a part of me

 

No I am not able to discard it or shed it at the door

It’s determination and presence still something that is needed to be explored

And no it cannot be overlooked or ignored at first glance

It demands the attention of the unfamiliar eye like a strange romance

 

 

You may be one who wears a white scarf and have thoughts of fear, misery and despair

Shed those feelings, have faith, do what you desire without a care

You only get one life and time just passes by you see,

If you let that white scarf cover your eyes you will miss it completely

 

 

Exist as a whole person not broken nor damaged but you capable to be

The person you want, with the life you want, only YOU have that ability

That scarf you wear is a part of you but does not have to weigh you down

It is essential to be confident, focused on life’s meaning despite that you have to always wear that white scarf around
