Maya Wasserman - NOT ONLY FLOWERS

Not Only Flowers

not only flowers
flourish in spring
keep your emotions to yourself
see what they bring
i follow where my mind goes
that’s how i roll
i always listen to my heart
dig deep in my soul

but look at what you’ve done
and look at what you could’ve done
better
better
and if you look into my eyes
can you see the times
when i was so in blue all the time?

i was a wreck but now i’m better
wish i could go back
wish i could tell my younger self
to keep her innocence
to stay at home, behave
to keep my innocence

i like to stay up at night
the thoughts racing through my mind
im just hoping they won’t wake anyone but
i wasn’t ready when you called
i wasn’t ready
when you told me how you felt

but i know now
that not only flowers
flourish in spring
and i know now
that not only flowers
flourish in
spring

not only flowers
not just flowers…
