My Mother's Daughter

Achieving Greatness

By Simone HendersonPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I could be a brazen fool with insurmountable intelligence.

Lie around all day, and purposely do absolutely everything.

Or, I could be a giant 5ft tall intimidating all with severe kindness.

Could you imagine?

A smile within a frown waiting for the right moment.

I could be a storm; a catastrophic tornado

Destroying nothing in my path.

Or, I could be an insufferable tyrant;

Demanding acts of kindness from all.

Could you imagine?

A rainbow within a storm cloud waiting for the right moment.

I could be nothing; just shy of something grand.

Instead, I’ll settle for Greatness and be my Mother’s daughter.
