A flower is only sought after for as long as it is fresh and pretty
Don't be like a flower
Don't believe what they declare
We are not just a simple DNA
We are the universe summed up into one
Observe the rules but don't be submissive
Follow your heart but never lose your mind
Pick your own battles and fight it well
And everyday
Don't fail to recall
That you are a fighter
Strong, courageous, wise
Yet still so sweet and soft
Fair, Confident, Honest,
A woman of virtue and respect
You are stunning on your own
You don't need any guy to prove your worth

They don't always
Look dull
Or restless
Some even laugh
Joke around
And get crazy
With you
Everyday
They always
Got your back
Smiling and
Cheering you on
Because
They know how it feels
To be loathed
Broken
Unwanted
And them hurting alone
Is enough

You left me in pieces
Never looked back
You never told me why
And treated me so bad
While I gave you all my love
All you cause me is a broken heart

So now i'll forget you
Try to stop thinking of you
What my heart won't allow
My mind can do
I'll have to cease saying "I love you"

But
If you knew how much
I've hurt
will you come back?
Those tears I've shed
All of these *****
Cause you know I want and I will
But you're not there
And life will never be the same again
