PAD Challenge Day 22: Down -to- Earth
PAD Challenge Day 22: Write an earth poem.
Down-to-Earth
I was the kid that many told,
"You've been here before....
"You're ahead of your time."
So, I was always inquisitive about
the concept and content of my spirit.
I'm quite practical and comfortable
with living outside of boxes.
Sufficient enough to move alone.
But knew when I needed an advance.
Always believed that it was
imperative to know my own
true colors as I disclosed them.
Free as the butteflies I admired
and chased as a child.
Realistic about where I came
from and how different it will
always be compared to where
my dreams would fly me.
Never wanting to be naive,
seen or act as a dumb,
rude girl, with no sense of
self worth or self assurance.
Friendly by nature
because mean is
easy to attract too
but more common and uglier.
Relatable even if my
mother's celestial love and
upbringing didn't mirror yours.
I understood that we all
are chosen ones,
ones that could not choose
the people, places and
things in preparation of our births.
Allowed my open-mind to teach me
that someone else's mishaps,
mistakes and downfalls is my
preventive mechanism and
I shouldn't be too quick to judge
because their life could
have easily been mine.
After all of my revolutions
around the sun,
I'm glad that I'm still
down to earth,
down enough to look up
to another star while
being the light to another one.
