Wildflowers
I don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers.
I wish I knew how to bloom naturally, I wish my every move wasn’t calcualated.
I feel like I was born an alien, no idea of how to operate this machine of a body I inherited.
How do I fit in? How do I seem normal?
I am not okay I am not ordinary.
I see friends, strangers and acquaintances mixing and mingling and talking and it comes so naturally to them.
I follow along the girls moves and watch the way they hold themselves, move their hair, the words they say. And I imitate.
I imitate and imitate and imitate.
Finally i feel like a normal girl, a normal person.
I am friendly and i am outgoing and i am kind.
But i am not me.
I am still a weed in a field of wildflowers just disguised as a Lilly.
