I will not be another rose picked for my beauty Then left to die. No i will be a spectacular wildflower, The kind you would never bring to a wedding, Difficult to find, impossible to forget. Or i will set myself on fire, And burn, And pray to become ash, The kind that float like fresh snow So that i can join the soil, And other wildflowers can grow through me. The ones no one will pick Or put in a vase. So that you could not display them at my funeral

A Pyromaniac's Apologie
I will not be another rose picked for my beauty Then left to die. No i will be a spectacular wildflower, The kind you would never bring to a wedding, Difficult to find, impossible to forget. Or i will set myself on fire, And burn, And pray to become ash, The kind that float like fresh snow So that i can join the soil, And other wildflowers can grow through me. The ones no one will pick Or put in a vase. So that you could not display them at my funeral
