I start out as a seed
Never getting much attention
But my luxurous life starts
When I hit the ground
But once I do I’m bound
But I don’t really mind
As long as I get what I need
It’s nothing from which I hide
It is a few weeks before I see light again
But it is worth it because;
I am taller and stronger
And ridden of most flaws
No one ran me over with a lawn mower
Or pluck my fragrant petals
Or add me to a dainty
Table décor flower bouquet
I gave respect to who earned
And disgraced those who deserved it
I earned respect I respect
but rarely ever got any
So, yes I help a grudge
No pleading would make me budge
I made sure they were sick of me
Before returning to the original me.
But one horrible, horrible day
all the sunlight faded away
It left nothing but gloom and despair
But my actions are what led me here
All the others ran away
leaving the arrogant version of me
here where I deserved to be
Oh! Why did I do what I did!
And then the lighting struck.
I cried and cried for help
But why, why would anyone help
After all here’s what happened;
I held a grudge when they were in trouble
They’re holding a grugde when I am in trouble
after all fair is fair
nothing I will do will repair
At last I would like to apologize
To everyone I have hurt,
For being so very ignorant,
Just remember “I’m Sorry” are powerful words
