I Wish I Was A Flower

I wish I was a flower

so I would not have to be

I wish I was a flower

So I wouldn't have to see.

I wish I was a flower so I could live in the mud.

I wish I was a flower so I could live beneath the flood.

And as a flower grows

A flower loses toes

And ribbons tied to bows

forget the weeping willows

in the rain

in the clouds

in the sun beneath the sound

of the falling sky which breathes

as the crowing moonstone fades

I wish I was a flower

So I did not have to feel

I wish I was a flower

I wish I wasn't real

I wish I was a flower

So I could feel no pain

So when a boot came crashing down

to crush my pitied petals vain

I could not bother caring

For the outcome lies the same.

Flowers do not fall in love

Flowers do not preach a dove

flowers never rest above 

the far below which never really goes to show how free thoughts flow in time and rhyme and lullaby to soothe the aching screaming mind of those who are not willful enough to lose their 

stride.

I wish I was a flower

So I did not have to try.
