you know not what I now know
You always told me
I was a tulip
When I thought of myself
As a dandelion
You promised
To tend me
To water me
To help me grow and flourish
But one day
You fed me weed killer
And told me
It was nectar
And I believed you
I believed you when
My leaves shriveled up and
My color was drained
I believed you
Because you were a daffodil
And weeds are nothing
Next to flowers
But one day
I told myself
That I was
An orchid
And that was what
I became
And your weed killer
No longer
Had its hold on me
I grew taller
And stronger
Than even you
And I crowded you out of the garden
And now I take
My own sun
Leaving you to scavenge
For the remaining
