Able

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)

    The ending here:

    "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"

    I think was nicely done.

    That is a very deep and heart felt poem. You don't know if you can or can not. Awesome poem.
