This is a short poem my sister wrote. I love it because it captured my heart the first time I read it and tells a little story within the poem.

Everyone has a part of them that is different

Of something else, distinct and original

A blend of white within the black

A little twist in the life

Or a clandestine mystery or story untold

That makes us unique for who we are

Blended in a way we only know

The colors hidden in our inner most being 

Bonded like the colors of a smarties candy stick

Or blended like the vibrant shades of starbursts 

We are mixed with different colors, shades, and shadows

Every color standing as a characteristic,

Defining, shaping us

Whether yellow, white, blue, or orange

Formulating us as individuals

Making us irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind, special

Unique.
