I can't, you know

compete with them

Everyone is so tall so beautiful so—

Pink, and I'm just..

I was born like this, right?

Leaves like mine don't grow nothing but vines and thorns

I cover the fields yet I'm unseen

Unloved

I can't compete.

I won't.

I don't want to stick out like weed in a field of wildflowers

A forgotten seed boasting with the little it has

But it knows it came from shit

The bull, the bird, whatever breed I couldn't satisfy then

the ones that swallowed me whole—

Looking for gratification

But dropped me to my death when their stomach churned

Into this field

Where everything is so tall so beautiful—

So pink

And I'm not as pink as you

or as tall

I walk halls with my head tilted down

I soften my voice

I'm often alone, like I have my own thing

Cause I have nothing to offer

I sneak glances

At you dancing with the blue hues

So beautiful

I know I cant compete
