I grew from filthy pain
As brown as coffee
Dreams grew from my fluffy crown
Down to my roots
Naively awaiting the rain
The sun was my glee
Every thread that sew my chromosomes
Stabbed like the liars seed
Still, I grew.
The higher I rose
The more that was bore
I bloomed into a ****
Soon to be
Well groomed
Cut off with precision
And swift decision
I wanted to shine,
But when I was lifted
I forgot my wishes
There was too much pressure
In being a dream come true
I had grew to my limit.
I feel anguish and ache flow through my chlorophyll
It's what gives me my colors
You picked me.
My clear blood ran through
Green veins
The little life I did have and you blew it away
Your breath slice through my entire soul
Some people become fragile because their strength has been blown out by everything
They have ever known
I could forgive you
I need to
If only I was not emptily floating
Waiting to fall into the dirt
A piece of me makes it, the others are lost
I keep them in my mind, they are my peace
What hushes my insanity
You are wishing on something
That wants to drain your oxygen
I wish I could forgive you all
Instead I scoff down another grudge
You wish in vain when you tear open my veins
I want you to smother
On the filthy pain,
I learned to carry,
Under my crown of make-believe.

I wrote this about forgiveness for a class assignment last year.
I'm numb to it now.
