You turned my hair into flowers A metaphoric bound you gave them They became beautiful flowers that you enjoyed watching them bloom But when I saw them as roses with thorns that cut me You insisted they were soft daisies that brought protection And when i brought out the scissors to cut them,set them loose, Your anger came as a storm hissing on how I could do such a thing On how I could **** something so beautiful I howled for their beauty is exactly why I cut them For I would like a bouquet to fence around me These thorny roses shall do, keeping others out But you insisted once again that they were daisies You insisted that they gave a blanket of protection upon my shoulders, That the river of hair down my spine was all I needed to be beautiful -sol
