To Be

A hug
warm and fitted
cozy as a winter coat
A look
warm or mean
as a frigid icicle

A smile
warm or forced
kind or disgusted
welcoming or rude
And you think to yourself
better this than none
better than no sun
Trying even when you’re lying

To find your meaning
To become who you wish to be
To always take a stand even when standing alone
To be yourself

To love, To live, To laugh
To hug, To look, To smile

To BE.
