It was December and the sun rested upon its cloud. night. I sang in the shower that night. I even combed through my messy curls. More pulling than combing. But I combed. In the mirror. My reflection. It glanced at me and smiled back and even had the same beauty mark upon its lower cheek. We were the same. I wondered what it was like to be the least favorite in the garden. Did roses think lily’s were ugly? Roses were beautiful. sad. Upon some time you would grow lonely. Tired. Un whole. Empty. I was empty because I felt ordinary. I was ordinary nothing too good. Not anything bad. Ordinary. In afternoons walking past the roses I saw myself as a Dandelion. The ugly one. The ugly duckling. The ugly flower. The ordinary.

I do not want simple nor ordinary
