Passion and Perseverence

I am not beaten and no one
can whip me into shape.A heart
laid bare, i’m free to discover
all that I am. Yes, I run deep.
It’s peculiar, how I can’t
help but notice similarities
in reactions and motivations.
On the surface we look diverse.

At heart, we are human, divine.
Unbowed: filled with curiosity,
we love, learn and make progress.
Self-directed, our full potential
is not auctioned to the highest bid.
No pile of money can buy the grit
that given the fullness of time
reveals  our most precious pearl.
