If


If I were a flower
A hybrid I’d be
A mix of a rose and a lily; so unseen
Only alive at night and dead by day

If I were a candy
I’d be sour and sweet
Changing without notice
Layers in constant sway.

If I were a bird
My wings would be lame
Left all alone
I couldn’t fly away

If I were a star
I would be the brightest of the bunch
But no one can see me
No attention do they pay

If I were the ocean
I’d be in constant confusion
Always pushed and pulled
Torn from the comfort of the bay

If you were different
Talented but invisible
You’d feel as I do
You’d understand what I say
