We’re not so different
We’re not so different
When it comes down to you and me,
You were always the flower,
While I was the weed.
You were adored by others and
loved for your beauty
while mine was overlooked and
stepped on.
You were the diamond that shined
so brightly, that you blinded every single
thing that stood next to you, and how you
made it known. As I was the one next to you.
A grain of salt doesn’t compare to the beauty
you held.
I was never a match.
While many surrounded you, I was left
in the dust, forgotten. Forgotten as soon as I was seen.
Even though we aren’t much different.
We are both a part of this earth, that is
so vastly unknown.
Yet our worth is so different.
But what’s so different about you and me?
Where does the line begin or end?
For you to be treated like a queen and for me to be treated
like a foul beast.
