The Catterfairy Contest

Have you ever seen a catterfairy? Many found her to be quite scary, She came out of her cocoon others said to soon And only part of her had seemed to bloom. Her green body dragged on the cold wet ground Yet her face was like an angel and her wings were profound. She had passed many animals, insects and fish Though she was rejected by them all...she still held on to one special wish. That someday she would gracefully fly Far past all their critical eyes. Show the world who she was inside Never again feel the need to isolate and hide. One day a mouse with two pointy green tails Scuttled by her sobbing with a horrendous wail. The catterfairy filled with compassion asked him what was wrong The mouse pointed to his two tails and said “I’m not special or strong” No one paid him any mind too For his difference made others constantly ridicule. The catterfairy said, "My dream is to fly" "I am different too and can’t understand why" At that moment they became the best of friends, Their uniqueness became a treasure that helped them make amends With whom they really were Instantly feelings of loneliness became a blur. The mouse one day had a marvelous idea It would help his dear friend overcome a deep fear. If he held up the catterfairys body while she attempted to fly It would make her light enough so she could soar through the sky Then, they both would graciously shine Linked together till the end of time. At once the mouse lifted the beautiful catterfairy's body high, Holding on intensely, she got her wish and they both kissed the cold ground goodbye. The catterfairy has human emotions and shows us how hard it can be when your different in our society. people judge others so often by how they look or if they have a disability. we all need love and friends and we have too look deeper than the outside. Someone will always come and lift that person up who feels rejected or different. Thank God we are all different. how boring this earth would be if we were all the same. Never try to be like anyone else for there is only one YOU and you are needed. By: Sabina Nicole
