The Potential of Being


Let’s share ourselves
because that is what we do,
and what we want to do

We aspire to be ourselves,
the potential of being,
and we look to one another
to reaffirm and affirm
what and who we love

But

When do we tell the truth, and
who do we trust—to tell the truth?
What is private and what is public,
what makes us who we (really) are?

What makes us be who we are?
