Someday...
A circle was born one day
That circle was me
Into a square world I enter that day
All were squares except me
Everyone wanted me to have corners
I had none
Doctors tried to give me corners
It was no fun
They twisted and bent
My beautiful curves
Until I looked dented
They had such nerve
Doctors said this is the best we can do,
And be what you want to be
I became very blue
A circle is what I wanted to be
In school they parted us others
Circles in one class,
Squares in another
This started the abuse at last
Squares started calling us names
Loop, around, wheel, and ring
We circles wanted to the same
Wanting to be meant nothing
I am classed with triangles,
Ovals, other circles, and other shapes
Anything without a right angle
Squares seem to be better than any other shapes
I tried to be a square,
I wore squares clothes
I found out to be bare
My corners were unknown to sew
I rolled down stairs
To shape myself as a square
To pain and no where
This was a stupid dare
I tried and tried to stroll
Squares were perfect and I was not
Then I noticed a square trying to roll
Something I did a lot
He was trying to like me
He is no different than me
A child shape that needs
To play and to see
Now I have pride in myself
Circles will be circles
Square are not myself
I am proud to be a circle
I have always accepted how I am
Never knowing why, just knowing
That I can accept what others cannot
Or will not allow themselves too
But someday,
And if only for a day
I would like the chance to be able to walk
For one day to run in a meadow
Or to dance with someone special
To ice stake on a cool winter morning
Or take a long walk on a long summer's day
At this point I know it is not possible
But I will never lose hope
For now I have my family and friends
And that's all I'll ever need.
