Who you are with      
does not define      
who you are.      
     
Rather it defines      
who you can become,    
from the rubble      
treasure is found.

    1. This resonates. My wife is a black woman and I am a white man. When others look, their body language sometimes speaks for them. Though we are judged by some, their opinions are irrelevant; as they don’t know of our love. I suppose, our self awareness might be more so than others when we are in public settings. In such few words; your poem is very insightful and thought provoking. Very well written Zazzles!

      • You know we are with who we’re with for many different reasons. Some people stay for love, some people stay for familiarity, and others stay for financial reasons. I am the ladder. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no gold digger. I just can’t afford my apartment without my narcissistic boyfriends share the of rent. In fact, I can’t afford anywhere anymore on the money I make. Unfortunately, not every American can afford to buy a house and sadly I’m one of those people so I rent. And I feel you Angel, mix race marriages do get dirty looks but I never let that affect me because the people giving the dirty looks are not worth knowing and their opinion means nothing thanks for looking. Thanks for commenting.
