Brown

Hello my name is Leckerita and i'm brown.

I'm brown like flowers left in the sun too long without a root.

I'm also very thirsty.

Thirsty for a future or maybe just a root.

I want to know that the sun wont completely scorch me.

I need to know that I am brown for a reason.

I'm not asking to be first choice or anything, I just want to know why.

Why i'm never included in a mothers day bouquet or the choice for a centerpiece.

I seem to always be tucked away with the real beauties.

Roses, Tulips, Lavenders and Crystals.

I'm neither wanted nor thrown away, i'm simply accepted.

I mean they bought me in Pathmark, the little brown one was inevitable.
