ponderings of an "outsider"
Because I am not a rose
I am banished
From the garden
Though I stretch green arms
And open fine petals to the morning sun,
Whenever I try to grow
Beside the path
Or peek out among the lilies
I am plucked out,
Cast aside-

There is no place
For wildflower dreams
When all they can see
Is  a weed.
