Daisy queen

She said she was the daisy queen,
and I thought it suited her.
So joyful all the time,
so innocent and sweet, 
and always reaching for the sky.
One time she made me a daisy crown.
Gifted by the daisy queen,
I kept that crown in a glass box.
All dried up but still beautiful.
Perfectly preserved in time just like the memories of her.
A daisy is so cheery
but suddenly this daisy wasn't so lively anymore.
The petals started wilting.
The daisy tried so hard to stay happy and energetic,
but the weeds battled with this daisy,
and not all daisies are destined to be preserved and here forever.
This daisy succumbed to the weeds,and then there was no more daisy.
Every night I would look at the dried daisy crown
and remember the daisy queen,
but unknown to me,
a seed was planted in me,
that seed grew into a daisy.
So I am more positive and bright,
Just like the daisy queen.

  • Lost love

    Years of wasted love, 
    I handed it out at no cost,
    but I gave too much.
    Suddenly there wasn't any love left for me.

    I needed your love to survive,
    but it was nowhere to be found.

    Empty words,
  • old gum

    Dodie and Fletcher,
    the orange dream catcher,
    Unopened messages, 
    Cinderella's transforming carriage.
    Crying in the shower,
    all I want is flowers!
    Buttons on my shirt,
    Can I get any more hurt?
  • sunshine serenity

    The sun slowly sinks down behind the mountains, 
    casting faded orange and yellow rays.
    Wispy clouds drift overhead,
    pushed by the wind. 
    A single cricket's chirp fills the air with a quiet song,
