i try to breathe
but the flowers
keep growing and growing

the fragile stems
twisting and winding through my body

the flourishing petals
bloom around my dizzy brain
they steal my thoughts to feed themselves
so the blossom can keep growing and growing

the petite leaves
swimming through my bloodstream
clogging up my arteries
there's no oxygen

i try to breathe
but the flowers keep growing and growing

i am no longer alive
and i'm not sure if i ever was
but at least the sun will watch over my
ravishing garden

i am no longer alive
but at least i died
a magnificently fixed piece of art

isn't that what everyone wants these days:
to live beautifully,
to be beautiful
and to die trying to regain that beauty they fought so hard for?
