don't you see,
you are a bud,
and i am a
weed.
you will flourish,
be watered with attention,
and handled with care,
while people see me
as an
annoyance,
pulling at me
to leave.
you are known as
beauty,
but i,
my dear,
feel the complete
opposite.
you lift people's
spirits,
only for me
to pull them back
down.
