Wilted flower, why don't you bloom?

I've given you the sun, earth, and moon
so that you may see brighter days ahead
but you turn your back to wilt instead

Wilted flower, why don't you eat?

I've plated you above heavenly waters from the ground to drink
You block your roots to starve to death
Fighting back with all the strength you have left


wilted flower, why do you do what you do?

I've raised you up and believed in you
You wilt with sorry, leaves drooping low
Responding softly "I just want to let go"
