People

This is borne out of an unhappy and confusing moment.

People make you sad

People also make you happy

People can vex you, manipulate you and ignore you

People can also believe you, support you and love you,

People can hurt you

People can hug you

People can make you think twice about what you say

People can see your worst and still find something worthy,

People can make you think that it’s too hard

That there are too many things wrong about you

That you are not who you want to be

That you are not who you think you are 

That you are nobody to everyone 

And somebody to someone 

That in spite of it all, it’s fun 

There are laughs

And fizzles of excitement 

And waves of contentment 

That you need someone

But prefer no one,

People can say that it’s ok

To be you

Whether it’s a tiny bit of an amazing person

Or a lot of a vulgar person,

The right people are your people 

Your person for a minute or a season

Or someone lifetime,

Your person is your world

The right person is your person
