Yours

It's yours.

We live in a world where expectations are high,
Forgetting how unique we are as individuals.

We live in a world of constant judgement,
Reminding us of our own insecurities. 

We live in a world of bias narratives, 
That craft the lives we live today.

We live as one,
walking our own paths.

We live as people,
guided by our own biases .

We need to be reminded that it's no one elses life.

It's yours.

    The colors in this picture are beautiful! The writing is beautiful as well. I totally agree that everyone needs reminding that our lives are our own and no anyone else's. I really enjoyed this!
