Trash
May 29, 2014
Please do not call yourself trash
Because you are the furthest thing from it
You have more potential than an acorn
And more beauty than the tree into which it grows,
One day you will have more wisdom than Socrates
More knowledge than Pythagoras
And more power than Zeus.
Please, do not call yourself trash,
Call yourself bold
Call yourself intelligent
Call yourself courageous
Call yourself kind
Please,
Do Not
Call
Yourself
Trash.
Because, if you are trash,
I am toxic waste
Waiting hundreds of years
Striving to be like you.
