Dandelion
3/4/16
Dandelion
is that
the smallest lion.
Without teeth
to bite
without the sights
of such venomous eyes.
Who is gazing
upon the people
who cares enough
to really see them.
To see me
they don't
and when they do
they lie
to manipulate
and use
break and abuse.
Nothing left of me
untouched
unchanged
want to find
a measure of peace
or stars that travel
beyond my eyes
into another place.

I have had the privilege of reading some of your other work but this short simple poem speaks volumes. It is able to convey the beauty and the fierceness of life and what is had to offer or take from you if allowed. Keep pushing forward and don't settle! Don't let life lead you, you lead life! -Ky
