I always pick the buttercups That grow on my skin. Until they grow back And i pick them again And again Only for them to grow faster And thicker And faster and thicker. The days pass by As the wind wispers And the rivers flow And the wild flowers grow Like the flowers on my body. And I find myself yearning for the days Where every child was covered in buttercups Flourishing on their skin And they just left them there. And it was okay.

Buttercups
I always pick the buttercups That grow on my skin. Until they grow back And i pick them again And again Only for them to grow faster And thicker And faster and thicker. The days pass by As the wind wispers And the rivers flow And the wild flowers grow Like the flowers on my body. And I find myself yearning for the days Where every child was covered in buttercups Flourishing on their skin And they just left them there. And it was okay.
As you grow older the pressure to conform grows more and intense. Nobody should not be ashamed of their inner child.
