Why must I pretend to be a butterfly?

When it is clear to see that I am a moth.

Why is it that you can except a bee

But not a wasp?

Why do you mistake me for a tiger?

When I am a leopard.

When I want to be me…accept me

When I want to be heavily burdened…

Burden me.

Why must I pretend to be……

ME!
