Sometimes


Sometimes I feel like a candle in a hurricane 
Trying my hardest just to light my flame 
I'm slowing burning bit by bit 
Melting away every time I'm lit
 
Sometimes I feel like a doll held by a child 
Tossed around soon to be filed 
Wanted at first then forgotten in time 
My limbs move but I'm treated like a mime 
 
Sometimes I feel like a flower in bloom
Picked for the tuxedo pocket of the groom
Planted in the fall to sprout in the spring 
To be held in hands when he bends down with a ring
