I'm like a flower
Each day I grow weak
if i'm not cared for properly
Though I remain silent
I move swiftly
I speak
never showing my teeth
& I'm affected by the way others treat me
Each day i grow more weary
as my petals slowly fall
& I get by-passed constantly
my beauty
not apprecitaed at all
my tears are the rain
that drip off the petals
I am the flower
