(My Birthday Poem)

I am not exotic

I'm not a rare dish that needs to be sampled

I am not some wild creature who needs to be tamed

I am not hiding ancient secrets beneath my loins

Is it my skin clothed by the sun

on the surface

I am who I am

beautiful

intelligent

emotional

compassionate

lover

fighter

mother

friend

I am spiritual

I am deep

I love deeply

with intensity

emotions flow through me

effortlessly

only to be set free

what makes me so different from you?

tell me what makes me

Exotic

this label

I do not need

Exotic

I breathe and live and eat and sleep

I have goals and dreams

I strive to achieve

to define my being

Does this make me

Exotic
