DANDELION

Under water

A bubble of dream

Sink is my shelter

I don't need to breath

Up is down for me

Truth be false to me

They've been waiting on it thirsty

Wanting to dissolve me

They say

Dear little dandelion

Go fulfill your prophecy

Don't be a selfish bitch

Give yourself up to it

Sacrifice is glorified

I don't seem to have a choice

I'd rather be alone

Than having to conform

Selfless is a virtue how?

Don't come up to me and run your mouth

My mama poured her love in me

So I wouldn't end up so expectedly

I will not follow

Stay still when the wind blows

My root stitch up the ground

So medical

Seek no one's approval

It must be hard to swallow

These roots stitch up the ground so medical

So medical

They must yank me out

When I'm still a flower

And put me with the girls

At the front of the counter

Tear me from my ground

Put me in a glass house

Label me with dollar signs

And water me till I start to drown

Dear little dandelion

You're pretty but oh if I might

Suggest you fix your teeth

And finish up your wine

Aren't you happy to see me

Dancing on your stupid screen

I'll make it my mission

To be a disturbance

I will not follow

Stay still when the wind blows

My root stitch up the ground

So medical

Seek no one's approval

It must be hard to swallow

These roots stitch up the ground so medical

So medical
