They say that not all plants can grow where they are planted.
Maybe they don't have enough soil to support them,
or maybe their leaves get crushed and folded together from lack of room.
Or perhaps they are planted in a place where there isn't enough sunlight surrounding them.
In even worst case scenarios, maybe they are a lone daisy in a field of roses,
or maybe they get stepped on before they have a chance to bloom, or barely ******* sprout.
So tell me now, why is it so easy to grab a plant by the stem and rip it out of the dirt where it was first planted if things just aren't working in that plants favor?
Tell me please how it is so simple to get down on your knees and dig your nails into the ground and repeatedly throw the earth over your shoulder and make a new hole for that plant to have a second chance?
I want to know how you can take the roots of that plant, looking like a spider with hundreds of broken legs, and place them in a new hole just to cover them up again in only a matter of minutes.
I want to know why that flower effortlessly got a reversal of fortune.
I want to know why someone looked at that limp flower and saw its dismay and decided to kneel and help it.
I want to know why its not that easy for me.
