I’d Rather
I brush my hair every morning. Brush my teeth. Brush the floor. Brush the cat hairs off my clothes. Brush the make up on my face.
Why?
I went through a phase when I was a child. I refused to take showers. My mama said, keep this up and you’ll be like a weed. My papa added, a weed in a field of wildflowers.
I don’t take drugs, I don’t eat junk food, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t get in fights. Even though everyone else does.
Because I want to be more than a weed in a field of weeds or a flower in a field of wild flowers or a weed in a field of wildflowers, I’d rather be a flower in a field of weeds.
