Ana Victoria

She thinks she is only a "clown philosopher," but she is so much more than that.

She is beautiful 
even if she doesn't see it 
when she looks in the mirror.
She hasn't quite 
found herself yet, 
but she she is aware of her journey 
and holds fast 
to no false identity. 
She has passions 
that set her apart from the many, 
and she acts on them, 
fearless 
of her peers' opinions. 

If you will be vulnerable, 

then she will be vulnerable. 

Like a rose, 

she will open 

herself up to you 

if she knows your questions 

come from care 

and not mockery. 

She will hold you 

when you cry 

and listen 

to the senseless conversations 

you have 

in your sleep. 

She sees the world 

in a unique color. 

Each day 

is a new adventure, 

and there are no limits 

to her imagination. 

Do not shake your head 

because you cannot see her vision. 

Beg her 

to show it to you.
