My Garden

Summary:

I write a lot of poetry, so I figured I'd post it here.

Most of my poetry has to do with flowers, which is why it's called "My Garden"

I write a lot of poetry about my parents, so get ready for a lot of sadness.

Chapter 1: A Daisy

Chapter Text

You planted a seed
Watered me
Fed me
Hoping for a beautiful rose

But I wasn’t a rose
I was but
A simple daisy
Growing strong and tall

You berated me
You told me
To be a rose
But a daisy cannot become a rose

I tried to be
All you wanted
A rose
Growing just as well as I was

But I couldn’t
No matter what
I couldn’t be
That beautiful rose you wanted

You still wanted
That beautiful
Stunning rose
That I just could not be

So you went
And neglected
That little daisy
Until I withered and died

And as I withered
I thought
Secretly inside
“What did I do wrong?”

Why couldn’t you
Have just
Been happy
With the daisy you already had?

Now you have
No roses
No daisies
A garden, where I once stood

Empty now
Save for
One wilted daisy
That wished to be a rose
