Are we not like sugarcane? By name, so sweet but appearance off-putting. It is like your expectations of this world-reknown plant superseded you. Sugar has countless forms that cause the original form disappointing/surprising. Are we not like vanilla extract? posessing an aroma so tempting but once it touches the lips, there are no words - no pleasure - just disgust and hesitation for future endeavors. Are we not like the seeds of a jalapeno? No where and then everywhere upon our first cut. The more cuts we endure, the more our spicy contents spill. Our "soul" purpose is to engulf a mouth in flames. Are we not like radishes? Seemingly harmless and bland on the outside but add heat and they release a certain smell in which the word foul comes to mind. Are we not like corn? We too have "aww shucks" moments. We can't stand being confined to a cob our whole life and every once in awhile, we just wanna pop someone! Of the copious things we are not, there's one thing- just one that we have to remember that we are; worth it. Not monetarily or in stature but within. Within the epidermis walls that provide a certain image. Within the image a family name provides. Within the profession regardless of how begrudging or fulfilling. Within the music fleeing from speakers into the drums you were born with. Within the soul, crowded with the contents of Pandora's box. We are the hope hiding inside, just waiting to be kissed by the sun. We are sunshine hope; stay bright.
