Am I the haystack
You’re searching for a needle in?
Do you think you’ll find something better
Once you look within?
If I took a piece of straw
And painted it silver
And changed what it was called,
Would that change what you saw in me?
Would you look at me differently?
Or would it just result in invisibility;
Another person showing you
Exactly what you expect to see
Would you notice a needle that wasn't glinting?
Would you notice it if you didn’t
Consider it “pretty”?
