Who wants a flower, who's petals are all bent up and dying?

Who wants a flower, who's leaves are all wilted and frail?

Who wants a flower, who's stem is all jagged and sharp?

Who wants a flower, who's roots are all thin and whispy the soil around it all dry?

Who wants a flower, who can only set its weak head on the sun every so often

Who wants a flower, who bees avoid?

Who wants a flower so distant of its beauty when there are so many more to choose from?

Stronger,
prettier,
full of blossom
and hope.

...

Who would want a flower like this.
