(I think
there’s a very
strong
possibility
I might be
Extra terrestrial!)
Sometimes
I don’t know how
I could be so different
and right could be so wrong
wrong right for others,
and right singing in me
such an unhappy song.

I don’t pretend
To be righteous but I
See things from the view of a child
Who wants to please,
Who believes
If we all do our best
We can make a better place-
A better human race.

Jabs in back
For doing right…
I just won’t bring myself down
to fight.
The child in me won’t leave
Neither does it know
how to stay.
I suppose
It’ll wait in silence.
and
Out of peace, she will grieve;
Perhaps, even grow.


I probably am
An alien
Born from dandelion seed
Pretty on the inside
But to others just a weed.

a weed is not a weed at all, just a flower somebody doesn't want in their garden - but in another's it is a treasure -

btw - if you are an alien - woo hoo!  Nice to know I'm not alone

Hugs -  S

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

Who believes
If we all do our best
We can make a better place-
A better human race.

No "weed" would think this way.
I believe you are a beautiful wildflower.

This is so me, the part I like best.
And you are so not an alien, Misce~
Your writing is refreshing, and always makes
me feel so brand new.

I've always had a soft spot for dandelions... from the bright glow of yellow to the puffy ball that begs us to just wish on exhale...

Whatever you are, we need more like you. *S*

Excellent write! *S*
