Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day

I strangle my words as easily as I do my tears
I stifle my screams as frequently as I flash my smile
it means nothing
I am cotton candy on a rainy day
the unrealized dream of an idea unborn
I share with the painters the desire
To put a three-dimensional picture
On a one-dimensional surface

-Nikki Giovanni

I am tired of trying to make people happy and not having them appreciate what I do or even overlooking it, or pointing out what I have not done. It is when people take things for granted that I am most tempted to walk away and leave them feeling helpless.
