I know I'm not the only flower in your garden

  Not the prettiest nor most precious

I'm not silly, I could never compete with a Rose or a Lily

But I grow strong  in hopes someday you will pick me

My roots are set deep

So I wait for the times when you tend to my needs  

Feeding me with false hope and watered down excuses

Searching for a light to shine on me

But theses days I've just grown green with envy

I know I'm not the only flower in your garden

I just hoped maybe you'd pick me

Instead you let me wither away

To bloom again for someone else someday
