The trees blossom with pretty, intricate flowers
The petals fall down gently on the shimmering lake
With ducklings splashing about, enjoying the cool water
The fertile grass grows almost crazily about,
Roses and tulips and lilies everywhere you look

But wherever I step
The grass dies and so do the flowers
I sit down, wistfully looking at the ducklings playing
Knowing I would never be able to join them

You join me, not knowing why I called you
So I say,
"I try my best to live my life the fullest, but sometimes I doubt myself too much."
I could never be normal
Too many conditions
And a disease
Just like with my curse of
Plants dying wherever I step

So you take me to a whole different world
No trees in sight, but
With hot, volcanic rock- the replacement for soil
The landscape so bare
And lonely
Without life

I am shocked to see
That wherever I walk,
Plants grow

And you say,
“This land is barren, and lost of life.
But, with your step, you can make flowers grow.
A simple flower as a symbol that all hope is not lost.
You may have lost hope from being normal, but you know,
You still have hope in another area.
You just have to find it.”

If I'm the main character
Then what are you?
Some useless sidekick
That will never get the praise they need?
Why do you help others but never accept a "thank you"?
You deserve more than this
And I can't always be the one in the spotlight
When you're in the audience, clapping
Because no one will ever know who you really are
But to me, you're always that number one
Some people are like this, including one of my greatest friends.
I say, "Why can't you understand that I owe you?"
He says back to me, "Why can't you understand that I never change?"

I

So I misinterpreted you
And what you would do
He tried
I tried
It turned out ugly
I may have my own mugshot
And so does he
But it's not a life sentence
Or a death penalty
I have to live out my time
And do the best to correct it
When I know I will never be able to
But everyone tries
Sometimes people just forget
But others, they remember
Always
Maybe it'll be the same for you
But just remember this: There are always bumps along the road
And this is nothing else but

II

You ask why I did this
Sometimes words can't mean anything
Because, as, they always say, a picture is worth a million words
Because they're just a cent
But combined with others, they can be powerful
And sometimes, you lose a cent or two
This changes the entire meaning entirely
Maybe I lost some words
And maybe I just don't know how to make them a dollar
I try combining them, but it just doesn't work
Maybe I'm trying too hard to find that one cent
That could change everything
But you just don't know
How to explain

III

But it'll take a long time to heal
If it heals by itself
Maybe the only known cure
Is letting it be
You don't think he's the cure
But he is for me
You always thought it wouldn't work
But we have to stay on where fate tells us
Although how cruel it can be
We've gotten this far
So don't waste it
And we have to keep going
We can still do this, though
We can do it
