Uniquely Different (Private Collection)

This is a poem inspired by the story of Rachel. This story is about the pressures of feeling small and taking up space

Do you understand

The constant pressure of navigating a rural space

Where your identity and creativity

Felt othered at a

Young age

Do you know the feeling of

Being

Uniquely Different?

From the ups

And the downs

to being

singled out

to

constantly

proving your worth

as a female sculptor

Even navigating the hardships that a woman can face?

From Love bombing

To

Gaslighting

A part of life that is healed

But none the less

An exhausting

And confusing

One

I truly hope that

You are unfamiliar with such

Experiences

I know they placed a heavy burden on you from the start

Made your feel othered

But my dear

You are uniquely different

You are standing in your powering

Fully healed

Blooming

And

Granting yourself and others

Space to just exist

This is Rachel fully shining
