I am Fruitty (for Curtis)

I have been called a fruit and many other names.
But you know what? Youre right, though it may sound derranged.
I am that fruit in which you call "lemon".
Why should it matter to you if I am or with a man or woman?
Like the fruit lemon, I can be sour;
Bitter in some ways, which noone can devour.
Let's move on to my favorite fruit...the apple.
Coated dark red, with a taste no other fruit can sample.
I was irresitable to Adam & Eve.
Full of the unknown, even they were decieved.
Thus, my appearance my change....
But I am still the same person looked at from any angle, any range.
I could be that seductive fruit "strawberrry".
Or maybe that too good to the pit cherry.
Both still catch the human eye.
And who could best resemble a fruit than I?
So yes, I am fruitty. What a great way to describe me.
The nxt time you call me names, think of something harsher that I could be.
And why are you really being so cold-hearted?
I am a fruit that has been peeled, eaten, and discarded...
My seeds are stepped on, pushed into the soil...
And there I dwell,
But then reborn.
Oops, did I toot your horn?

      Thanks, I wrote this for a friend of mine. Its not fun being labeled. Its like a woman being called a b#tch. I tried to do the same thing; embrace the word so that it becomes powerless.

  • Funny and very gritty i like!
