stronger
than a dandelion you can't pop off my top
the world is
full of many ugly insidious crops
I don't harm
anyone so passers-by don't stop
no, I may
not ever vanish completely
and when I
come back it's always more sweetly
I don't
understand why anyone wants to kill me
because I
come with many o' white flower
though
they're tiny they still pack more power
unlike my
vines that intertwine and climb
spreading my
little flowers so infinitely divine
to create a
soft patch hidden inside your mind
for you to
relax, free from the prickly porcupines
so go ahead
and lay back, trade your stress for sunshine
don't let
all the jealous haters rob you of your spine
lay back on
my sweet softness to take a needed rest
close your
eyes and then take a nice, big deep breath
you're here
within my retreat so please be my guest
there's no
need to take Valium or drink any wine
because I'm
here so just allow me to blow your mind
there's no
need to fear about anyone bleeding you dry
my soft,
sweetness is designed to evaporate time
but if, even
now, you still don't have the slightest clue
just take a
wild guess about what's in it for you
it's up to
you to decide if you're ready to “come to”
by then I'll
have planted more dreams within you
so go ahead
and do whatever it is you plan to do
but, when
you leave, save a dream or two
because a
life lived without dreams
is worse
than a lawn with prickly weeds
don't ever
let those thorny pricks rob them from you
but please
realize that even if they happen to
I'm not here
to judge or take anything from you
I've only
one wish, only one job I'm glad to do
just be
ready when their thorns get stuck inside you
so come on
back anytime you want, relax and unwind
I do this
out of love, there's nothing better you'll find
I hope you
can see how beautiful life can be
when you
extend your hand to a fellow human being
soon you
will see people are just like all the weeds
society says
that we're supposed to despise all sorts of things
but it
doesn't mean that they're right
in fact,
it's only because they're uptight
because
throughout their whole life
every person
they met came to fight
so many
weeds stuck their thorny pricks inside
such pain as
the thorns became fangs sucking blood
everyone
from everywhere, never showing no love
please keep
in mind if you happen to get stuck
it has
absolutely nothing to do with bad luck
it was all
just a test to find out if you'd show love
power, like
choice, can lift you up or pull you down
you'd be
wise to come back, lay on my soft ground
just
remember I cannot force anyone to unwind
I suggest
you relax, leave the past’s pain behind
praying I'll
be blessed with someone to blow MY mind
that day is
coming soon and I hope you will find
how evil
you’ve been to me so move on or be kind
I don't lie
or break promises despite what's in your mind
I swear
mother fucker I promise I'm no longer being kind
I'm done
taking the high road to a one-way, dead end
so this is
your final warning, it was never pretend
