I am not a flower

by Becky Blanton

 

Do not compare me to a flower

For I am not a flower

And do not compare me to a tool

For I am not my usefulness

I do not remind you of a spring morning

For I am not the morning

Angels are not singing when I walk in

For I am not heavenly

It was not love at first sight when you saw me

For I am not my appearance

If you must compare me to something

Then you never knew me

If you must say I am something I am not

Then you never loved me

For I am not anything else in this world

For I am enough
