Sunflower Fake
Your mind is a garden,
your thoughts are the seeds
You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds
These words in white on
AI sunflowers, gold on royal blue
What the hell it that supposed to mean
Hard waiting room chair angry
Skintight sadness on my back
My mind is a slaughterhouse not a garden
Everywhere I go I feel the weight of eyes
My thoughts swarm like yellowjackets
Therapy is a waste of time
I grow lies to get by it’s the only way
Fake normal so no one see my fear
my sunflower smile pasted on
