Wildflower

I am a wildflower.
I am small and fragile,
Flickering
At the mercy of the slightest breeze.

I stand in a field on the side of the road.
Bright purple,
But almost always unnoticed.

No one stops to pick me up
To see me closely.
No one.

I crave this interaction
And yet I fear it.

Because if someone picks me up,
They will eventually grow tired
And drop me.

And I'll be left broken
Dying
Again.
