i am so sick and tired
of waiting for
someone
to bring me
flowers
i think it's about time
i planted them
myself

and if there comes a time
when i let someone in
and they pick my flowers,
leaving behind nothing
but broken stems,
i will grow them again
but this time
i'll make sure
they are bigger
taller
brighter
stronger

and there will be a time
where someone comes along
and sees my flowers
and they will not pick them,
but find my flowers
far too beautiful
to take them from me
