I am talented in the art of plucking flowers
Gardenias for their scent and soft touch
I wish I could be a bee
Pollinating without asking for anything in return
Yet I yearn for reassurance
I want to know that I am not too much
I will want to burn your skin when you get too close
Although I desire the Intimacy
And get uncomfortable when I feel someone's hands around my soul
More often than not I feel like too much of a toll for people to pay
And the ride wouldn't be worth it
It's so scenic, Forest full of life
My mind seems to be a mountain that nobody can make it to the top of
Sometimes I wish they would enjoy the Journey up
Instead of perceiving it as a competition
Not taking their time and enjoying the ride
Wanna see What's inside the box
If you must know it's full of tormented souls, passion, love, fear, unexpected Troubles
That's all they want
Don't wanna get to know why I'm Pandora
Crafted by Gods, first woman on earth
So beautiful you wouldn't notice the magma boiling beneath the surface
More of a Lillith image
I am not Submissive
You cannot make me bow down
You better hit the ground and bow to me
Cause you see, we deserve Respect
Do not forget, who made you
We'll be far away
Far away
I am a plant that wants to allow herself to bloom
To feel the beauty of unveiling my colors
To allow others to see me in full, see my fruit
The experience that others see me this way and immediately want to pluck me for theirs
Not realizing they are killing me through their selfish desires
Or maybe they know
Maybe they want the glow of my growth to dwindle and diminish
Perhaps It brings them joy to know they have removed yet another color
From the world
I am not here for your consumption
Only appreciation
You may gaze upon my petals
But do not touch them too long
For your oils will tarnish the place that God has created for power
How can you destroy something that was made to withstand anything
You cannot kill me in a way that matters
I will only return to matter
You see you think you're pluck will take away my sun
But it will not
I will evolve into something you cannot touch
