when i was a kid you made a flower crown for me
out of daisies you tore up from the grass out by the soccer field.

when i was sixteen i crashed my car in the middle of the night
turning at a red light straight into a ditch
the cops came and flooded the whole pavement blue and red
and when they asked me what happened i knew i couldn’t tell them
about the daisies growing in the middle lane
when i was nineteen i dropped out of college and when i
walked out of the admissions office for the last time there were
daisies growing in the cracks of the pavement.
and i wished i hadn’t lived my life around all the stipulations
and things i thought i knew when i was a child

Flower~My Sweet Smelling Holy Plant
I Am A Flower,
I Smell Good,
I Look Beautiful,
None Can Afford My Perfume!
People Like Me,
People Use Me To Decorate,
People Expect Me To Beautify
Their Home Like Me,
I Create Beauty Myself,
People Depend On Me,
To Give Them Oxygen.
The Oxygen That Nobody Can
Find Without Me.
I Am A Life-saver.
I Am A Word Created Holy Plant
From God.
When The Sun Rise,
I Also Obey By Rising…

They’ll have you feel like you’re asking for too much. Truth is, they can’t offer much. It’s like I’m expecting a fountain quality from a drain individual.
