just because the words were retracted
does not make the opposite true
the gentle praises and expressions
as they learned the nature of you
the words that colored the phrases
that they confidently used
"you are all, you are everything"
and every wonderful absolute
when the darkness came to take them away
it did not make any of them untrue
for dear, no matter who does or does not say it
you are still, unequivocally, the beautiful you.
