My dear you look like a carrot, dipped by your toes in the sun. Fashioned by the world, and wearing your sunglasses.Your sun-tanned skin is orange, your hair is done. You are quite finished. What a night ahead?
But are you strong?
Noble? Persistent and tough? Have you the character to persevere? Can you be brave when it hurts? Can you laugh when you’re sad?
Will you when I need you to?
Tell me, I’m curious – Do you cry when you’re mad? Do you smile at pleasant things? Do you close your eyes in the sunlight? Tell me, I’d like to know?
Are you exceptional?
No, you’re not.
