Why not be a flower?
He said, she said, they said, living in your head is not a form of reality.
It’s all about conquering your dreams and having fun in ways that benefit your vitality.
Using your voice to decide where you want to be.
Being weird is not part of your personality.
Abiding by your feelings will only get you so far.
Why do you have to be this or that, and so on and so on.
Do you want to be remembered as a nobody?
Make a name for yourself instead of silencing your mouth.
Wipe the tears off your face, nobody wants to see a disgrace.
How can a person keep all this in for so long?
It’s only a matter of time before they tell you to buzz off.
Sure a life can be a dream come true, but how can you live a life if you don’t know what you're
looking forward to?
...Why not be a flower?
It’s not so different from a normal life. Just standing tall flowing in the wind.
Compliments flourish the petals, making it hard not to meddle.
Feeling the kisses from the sun in the morning and gleaming seemingly at night.
People make beautiful creations out of flowers.
From headbands to a small gift.
It’s the thought that counts.
All there is to be afraid of is...being plucked.
