Do not envy them dear,
For why would the sun
Envy the moon?
It's okay to be a daisy
In a field of roses
Being simple and pure
In a world full of complexities
Is the most beautiful thing to be
In this world full of black and white
Dare to be a rainbow
You were never meant to be like them
No
You were meant to stand out
You were meant to be unique
Free from societies cookie cutter
You broke the mold darling
And you're all the more exquisite for it
Beautiful is the wrong word to describe you
You are fierce
Brave
Unlike any other
You are a roaring fire that warms everyone around her
You are the soft breeze that calms an aching soul
You are like water
You are soft enough to create
But hard enough to destroy
Don't let anyone take that away from you
Unlike my mother before me
I never felt a loving touch from a man
I felt his harsh words pounding in my ears
I felt his rough hands around my neck
I felt his anger try to destroy my glass heart
And yet
Here I stand
Ready to try again
Ready
For love
Don't try and be his wild Saturday night
Be his warm Sunday morning
Be his fresh cup of coffee and homemade jam
Be his comfort, his safety, his warmth
And if he loves you the same
He'll be all the same to you
Do the things that scare you
Tell him you love him
Buy that bus ticket
Leave that job
Be who you are
Do what you want
And never let anyone tell you no
