The Spice That's Me
Mom, I'll never be like your other daughters
My sisters and I are different as the salt and
The clear, fresh waters
I'm the salt- my tongue and mind are the
Lemon pepper and the pumpkin spice
Without me, your home would be a pot of
Plain, unseasoned rice
How I taste individually, Mom, you'll never know
Unless you decide I'm not a weed and concur to
Let me grow
I don't plan to change; I'm not gonna stop being me so
That I can be like them
Even so, Mom, I wish you could accept and
Love me just the way I am
