What a tremendously large wall
I had built inside of me
A stunning line of defense
Encasing my entire self
Safe from harm
I walked the barrier daily
Ensuring its usefulness

When I stumbled upon you.
A beautiful dandelion
Peaking through a small crack
On the bottom of my wall
I decided that you
Were stunning too
So I kept you

To others you were a weedy
An annoyance a stairway into weariness
To me you shined so bright in the sun
I couldnt help but keep them from hurting you
I didnt let any bystander pick you

You grew friends
Exquisite bright yellow dandelions
Everywhere on the interior of my wall

I became astonished and aware
That my quiet little flower
Had overgrown my town
Protected by my wall

I thought nothing of it
In fact,
Seeing my flower and its friends
Made me ecstatic
I felt peace

Days passed in my wall
And dandelions were everywhere
Clouding my defenses
Ruining my senses
I couldnt walk my barrier

There were too many


My flower...
You have poisoned my thoughts
