Dear "Adequate",
Is anything truly enough to make myself contented?
My life peppered with my parent’s virtues
Taught to be like a raging fire, not to take the simple, weak word “No”
Adequate is like a useless rabbit, while power and motivation is a mighty fine elk
The elk with its lavish life living with an exquisite, sleek coat of glory and success
The rabbit with a drab life living with a matted coat of gray hair with matted firs and grasses, lacking all success, just meeting the necessities of life until a powerful elk crushes it with its determined, hardened hooves
My body like the finest work of clay
Molded with the finest morals and ethics
“Adequate”, a silly, stupid word that sounds rather fancy and important
But, NO, good sir, it just rips you away from the comfort of your proud, treasured dreams
My Dream keeps me covered and protected from the ugliness of those who are “Adequate”
One day to pull up in a sky-blue ‘Rari with my raven-black hair singing in the wind about my successes as a strong elk
As you are young, listen to those who have worked so hard that they have given up everything for others
Those are the gracious beings who know “adequate” is just a stupid idea people use to get by
Come with me, young fawn
Sincerely,
Shreya
