I like to think of people as a greenhouse We are only a short moment in history We can be radiant and beautiful We can diffuse bliss and contentment We can show the world that there is more to it Some of us are short-lived gardens We forget to water ourselves Forget that we need sunshine to live We forget that most on our rainy days When clouds swarm our four walls And the light of day does not touch us like it used to Our flowers droop, fall, and die We are only plants that require attention Living objects that some pick up and some only marvel at We are unique and earmarked We are not the same But each of us are fascinating in our own way Do not forget to take care of yourself You have so much more to yourself Than the desolation you feel
