I am able to be big
I am able to be known
But am I?
I am able to make a difference
I am able to 'help' myself
But can I?
I am able to be bold
I am able to be unique
I am able to speak out
But should I?
I am just a little mustard seed
In a watermelon of a world,
and no matter how hard I try,
I'm only ever going to be what I am
I'll only be a red little poppy;
unnoticed, untill finally trampled to the ground
If I'm lucky I'll be picked by an eager child,
waiting for their chance to do what I've done
Author notes
Life. From what I( an eleven-year-old girl) understand this is a lesson that only people with wisdom aquire. 
( sorry I misspelled 'eager', I fixed it though)
