Child Chrysanthemum
People places and things, all fit into categories.
Her her her, my head is filled with allegories.
My heart is a rose.
Petal after petal…
I drop.
I love her.
I love her not.
I love her.
I love her not.
Through the leaves they pluck.
Thorn one; there one goes.
Thorn two; another one froze.
Maybe I have too many thickets.
Maybe I am too pungent.
Maybe they’re allergic.
Maybe they just hate roses.
I have yet to find the one
That will never be done
With me.
Be done with me.
Have I made a mistake by wishing for normality?
Am I wishing to be a lily when in fact I am not?
Thorns in my heart, thorns in my head.
I don’t think they’ll stop ‘till I’m dead.
Poison flows like the Atlantic.
I need help I’m getting frantic.
Another girl, another day.
Another day some part of me leaves.
I do not know what is missing from me.
But I feel like a maze.
A maze of thorns.
When I turn left and go too far
I get pricked.
When I turn right and go too far
I get pricked.
When I go in any direction too far
I get pricked.
I’m traveling blind and I just want to
Be picked.
Want to be picked.
