If I were a flower
Would I be beautiful
Would I attract
Would I smell...
Nice.
Would I believe
Miself to be
a flower
or am I
a weed?
People can be
like that
Change themselves
Not knowing
Who they are
What am I?
Who am I?
Have I lost
My mind?

The author's comments:
I created this poem after reading King Lear in my literature class. I was very moved by King Lear's crazed dialogue in the storm and I really did feel pity for him.
