There is a flower, lonely and desolate it does lay
The air feeds it, as the world feeds it death
We say, “no way!” As my flower wilts away
The flower cries out for help to those who walk by
Ignored and stepped on as the tears flow from its eyes
Hear what? I hear nothing as my flower wilts away
The flower, once beautiful, now bleak and gray
No sunshine, no rain feeds this flower today
To give, but to only keep, they all say as my flower wilts away
Scars covering scars, and smiles covering pain
Hope is the cancer
As pain is the maggot festering inside
Yes, this flower has died for no one really cared
To only notice what was once there
If we only helped in its time of need
The flower could have sown a seed
Our selfishness and pride
Left the flower to die
Please let this once forgotten flower know, the power of life is for all to behold
To give the other flowers care and love which within you hold
To keep this decaying haughtiness away so my flower won’t ever wilt away
