I Hate A Natural

You were always the natural.

You can …

Sing like a bird,

Dance like a swan,

And paint like the wind.

While...

I sit here under the dirt unable to grow,

Despite the water poured on me.

I drown in it instead.

You are the natural.

And I am the failure.

The bad egg.

The unlucky runt.

In spite of you,

I picked up a pen.

Nothing came naturally,

It never will.
