Flowers and Cacti


everything that grows
needs to first come
from the bottom up
even plants cry
without enough sunlight
so don't feel bad
when things aren't going through
the way you hoped they would
then there's those
who need the dark
to be able to grow
you won't have the same petals
same floral liking
i'm not you and you are not me
we are flowers
cacti and more
don't limit yourself
and stay in the dirt
if you bloom in the winter
instead of summer
or that stupid spring
because you aren't me and i'm not you
we are flowers
and i am me

Bobby.

Music is just poems from a young kid, but with a better background than beatboxing It's better to be hit with a truck than kissed with a lie
