I am
the Turtle
that pulls its head in
just for somewhere to rest
the Ostrich
with head in the sand
at the first sign
of protest
the Sloth
slovenly sitting
unbiasedly
in whatever tree
that holds me
A dolphin, a whale
a rhinoceroses
without fail
disappearing
from those who hunt me
Extinction is a four letter word
but it's inevitable, you see?
Because I'm all them, but not
I occupy the same Universe but
I forgot, there are creatures
less fortunate than me
Often like them, I'm hunted
for the colour of my skin,
for my difference of opinion
admired to the point of deadliness
But existence is my only sin
It's difficult to be me
Where do I begin?

note to self ~ when restless, drink a glass of warm milk instead of Wine and FFS, turn OFF the Internet or else ^^^^ happens!
Good night, sweet dreams, and be safe in your skin :)
