Snowball

You try to
erase me from being
blend me
into one of many
like a unique snowflake
melting into the others
in the palm of your hand

You wish to squeeze
Mold
Shape
me into them
so I am no longer
Strange
Unusual
an Embarrassment

Maybe you should
wait for warmer
days
before you look for Love

Look for Rain.

And allow me
the 
Privilege
of my intricate
lacey
life-design.
