A collection of poems dedicated to people or groups.
BOTH; is, of and for,
inspired by the specific of figures, past and present in my life
shows immense hurt to the ones I once knew
disclosed 'revealment' of those who have hurt or been hurt
the differentiation of truth and lies
the exposition of those hidden
NEITHER; is, of, and for,
not of one specific person but rather groups and classes
the people put in boxes and made smaller
the square pegs being forced into round holes
the neither being told their importance is equivalent to no one and nothing
those born to make a difference; born to stand out
BOTH AND NEITHER;
to the ones who have felt unseen or forgotten, this is a testament to your light and bravery and beauty
to the ones whose beliefs have been diminished may this collection inspire your grade-school-self and give you hope to taking them into the future
to the ones who have ideas and aspirations and critical
ways of thinking towards our ever-changing modern world
