Today, by a stranger,

I was made to feel mildly special

For no reason at all.

A joyous feeling I led myself to believe

I'd long forgotten.


Today, all thanks to a stranger,

I was kindly reminded that

I was beyond beautiful in every way

Possible.


Today, by a stranger,

I was briefly allowed to temporarily &

To [simply] ignore the crippling dangers of fear.

In this instance,

I didn't shed a single tear.


Today, by a stranger,

I was wholeheartedly encouraged to unapologetically

To be my authentic self in every element,

Instead of a fan favorite book on any random shelf.


Today, because of a stranger,

I remembered that whatever I crave & desire with my

Whole heart...

Is genuinely possible.
