SLR

I like to think that I'm a mixture of a sunflower, a lioness, and a tortoise.

why?

simply because a sunflower is

exuberant,

vibrant in color,

flows softly and carelessly with the wind,

plain and simple,

Intriguing to say the lease.

 

why a lioness?

because she is Queen of the Sahara desert.

she is loyal,

she is independent and does not fully need to depend on a male,

though when given the right one, she'll go through many lengths to accommodate him.

she is also full in color,  plastered with battle scars to prove that she is of worth

and can handle the meat thrown at her

with nothing but scavengers surrounding her,

tempting her.

 

why a tortoise?

because they are slow and steady,

live on land with feet as claws, being able to dig into troubles and come out more wise than before.

Also they can retrieve back into their cave for as long and as endless as they want,

solitude is acceptable and perfered.

 

one is noticeable yet, easily breakable and disposable.

one is lazy, yet keen

one is small, yet can take on the world for three hundred and thirty years.

 

I'll be forever, and memorable, and radiant.
