float
every mini mishap may seem like a breeze
but when you're a dandelion it takes away your seeds
takes away your will to live
and you're rooted in the ground
while everyone else moves ahead
the wind blows harder and every friend
every seed leaves your side
their flowery cotton helping them to glide
the wind pushes them forward
twirling around in the breeze
left behind, dead and green
the wind has stripped you of everything
stripped you of everyone who you thought
would be by your side through everything
the seeds are re-planting
your roots are getting weaker
you can't hold stand up to the wind anymore
each gust pounds you into the floor
you let it take you
the ground swallows you whole
your friends are happy
and you're no more.
