I’m an ordinary girl Born of ordinary parents On an extraordinary day.
They came from ordinary people Who lived out ordinary lives. They never really had a lot And seemed content with lesser.
How is it then that I was born Always wanting something more. Seeking that beyond the screen Not satisfied with all at hand.
Why did I not fit the mold That formed my sis and brother. It seemed to work out fine for them But was a prison cell for me.
I bashed through those restraining walls To seek my future my own way Finding cliffs I could not climb And oceans I could never swim
There was a narrow path to take But I preferred to dance the edges Gathering the shiny baubles That melted in the setting Sun And left me where I am today Living an ordinary life
And seeking to plant Hollyhocks Where only cactus ever grows. ljm
No matter how you view it- It's all lookings, each perspective. You grow & you grow & you grow, But you refuse to germinate. Don't you know? You must release your seedlings If you hope for a root To be planted. Can't have too fragile of a barrier, But neither too hard the shell. Spread your wings And do your thing, Flaunt your laurels.
