She Is Set Apart

She Is Set Apart
by Toni M.

She is rare and She’s unlike many
She feels the stares everywhere she goes
She is different She knows
Fully covered from head to toe
Tassels adorned with blue and gold
She shines a different light
She holds a different purpose unlike those around her
She doesn't go unnoticed
Her style goes unmatched
Wandering gaze upon her in bewilderment
“You were Born To Be Set Apart,” those like her say
Chosen
Gifted
Though at times the generational chains weigh her down
She walks around with her head held high
For she is more precious than jewels
And created with a heart of Gold
