I’m admittedly
ignorant.
Not by choice.
Probably mostly
by way of
proximity.
(I think.)
Whatever the reason,
that’s not the me
I want to be.
I think I tend to innately see
more similarities
than differences,
so I relate to you
on that level,
and I don’t tend to think
about what I don’t know
of you.
But there is more to you
than our commonalities.
I need
to be aware of
realize
acknowledge
the differences too,
because they fill out
the bigger picture of you.
And I want
to learn more
discover more
connect more
engage more
so I can fully know
understand
and
appreciate
you
for the whole you
that you were made to be.
