a weed in the flower pot

it's growing alone

with two or three long leaves

locating for kindred soul

thirsting for relationships to sow

the collected green of the flower

and the slender leaves of the weed

Aware of insecurities

growing higher than each other.

AH! her parts were plucked

plants felt guilt

their purposes felt stuck

the weed surviving to reach atop

To be or not to be, the flower said

to be is a curse

not to be is nothing to fret

a flower bent, a weed almost dead

You are not alone

the difference aren't shone

i live when with you

i die when not with you

us in this small pot

an insecure weed

a dependent flower

we both lived and we're never a myth

till the soil becomes shallow

our remains will forever be with each other.

our roots clinging to very life

for the life of those to follow.
