The Flower Pt. 1 & Pt. 2
The Flower pt. 1
Blowing in the wind
the Flower follows the patterns
But the stories behind each petal is all that really matters
The Flower has always seemed perfect to the eye
But the Flower sulks when things pass by
The Flower watched others get dug from the ground
With no soil falling down
The Flower is stuck down under
In a world full of wonder
The Flower makes everyone happy
But is never satisfied itself.
The Flower has watched everyone else
The Flower has seen other flowers get picked and given as a sign of love, respect, friendship, and forgiveness.
But nobody cares about the Flower's business.
The Flower has been through a lot.
But still stands tall.
Because that's how the Flower was raised up after all.
The Flower pt. 2
The Flower never learned to love itself
The Flower let out silent cries for help
The Flower wanted to be picked and used for good
But still no one really understood
And then one day,
the Flower was starting to wear away.
But someone dug their way through the soil
Inch by inch
But it was no cinch
They tried really hard to get the Flower out of the ground
But the soil kept falling down.
Neither gave up
Because of faith, not luck
Then finally the Flower was raised from the ground
And praised high like a queen wearing a crown
Finally someone appreciated the Flower's beauty
Helped the Flower achieve their duty
And fulfilled The Flower's dreams.
Just remember that everything is not what it seems.
But if you try hard enough
You'll find someone tough
And someone willing to keep digging through the ground
Even if the soil falls down.
