who am i?


Who am I? Do you know... Can you tell me? This is all I know... I am a woman short and small flitting like a butterfly as I use my wings from flower to flower I flutter. I flit and I float constantly on the go never having a flower to call my own. Who am I? Do you know... Can you tell me? This is all I know... My pelt is brown brown like a bear cub. I roam as I go... in search for my perfect home... a place of comfort a place to roam a place to dream I can call it my own. Who am I? Do you know... Can you tell me? This is all I know... I am pale pale as snow, pale as the milk that you drink like the sun has not kissed me awake for I am not loved to put the red into my cheeks. Who am I? Do you know... Can you tell me? This is all I know... I don't know why looks should matter to the people who know me, Who can tell me who I am. But they are wrong. That is not who I am. They do not know who I am. Who am I? Do you know... Can you tell me? This is all I know... I am me that is all i want to be. I don't hide that special person inside that's me. Who am I? Do you know... No but you can try, if you are willing to look at the person found inside. And this is what I know.

people need to get to know the person inside not on the outside.
