Ostrich

by ButterflyCryx

I'm an Ostrich in a flock of pretty pink flamingos A one-winged moth in a swarm of colorful butterflies The plain dog in a group of spotted ones I don't blend in with the crowd Yet I'm nothing to look at I'm not the popular girl who rules the entire student body at her school Nor the cool dude with the awesome red shades I'm a talent-less creature A forgotten duckling at a pond I may not be special Or "extraordinary" but at least I'm not a bully

Beautiful words. I'd love to see more of your work, and see how you expand on this. The topic of bullying is really important, and we often don't look at it from the viewpoint of refraining from acting out against our aggressors--people are more inclined to write about the suffering. Great work.
