The Sunflowers

I need positivity like a sunflower needs the sun

So what do I do when I'm given none?

I'm fed poison and breathe out joy

Bringing life through photosynthesis

Using my outward appearance to make people smile

But I'm cut at the stem

To be given to some much more special than I

And slowly start to rot

I'm given as a gift

Once I wither away and my fresh scent is gone

They throw me away and keep moving on

No one thinks about the sunflowers

 

Until they're gone.
