I no longer look for the good in people, I search for the real...Because while good is often dressed in fake clothing, real is naked and proud, no matter the scars. ~ Chishala Lishomwa
We tried to be real while we were in our illness
or at least to seem s, to convince others
we were better than we believed ourselves to be,
but we knew it was fake, for we were not fooled.
Then we found a community that loved us as we are,
and we could be real, and real was good,
for we became the loving community, and our scars
were our strengths, bringing in others trying for good
but needing to be real.
