I
learned to like myself in a culture which said it was a h*ll no-no can't be too paper white stand too tall and straight and smell too darn good with over-sized golden bowl eyes staring up towards the stars of heaven even though I'm a flower the real true thing being real living from the heart isn't valued not no how they all tried to convince me I wasn't quite right I knew they were cowards afraid of themselves and for some unknowing reason they were afraid of me life can be a teetering premise of one-up/one-down see everyone's gotta watch out for those whose boat might be sinking and maybe even for those who maybe praying for it to sink too that's not me I know who I am-- a lovely white flower with an overwhelming scent and a powerful presence one that gets me noticed I cannot help but be who and how I am Its the way God made me He whispered these words in the wind: "Dig in your roots little flower and be strong."
