the other day I picked a flower It was a long walk home I like this one because it smells nice But I don't really like flowers I don't know it's name Nor am I aware of its connection to the tree By the time I got home It Looked tired. Didn't smell as nice anymore It made my journey good though. But I didn't notice That it started dying From the moment I picked it. It kept its smile and never lost face And it made it seem okay To take it along with me Now it's dead Because it lied.

A flower's Beauty
the other day I picked a flower It was a long walk home I like this one because it smells nice But I don't really like flowers I don't know it's name Nor am I aware of its connection to the tree By the time I got home It Looked tired. Didn't smell as nice anymore It made my journey good though. But I didn't notice That it started dying From the moment I picked it. It kept its smile and never lost face And it made it seem okay To take it along with me Now it's dead Because it lied.
Let it mean anything to you, or nothing. But here it is.
