Weeds and Flowers

Weeds and Flowers

A Poem by Alyssa

I lay here on the sheets of my bed,

Thinking of who my true freinds are...

Who is real, loyal, who would be there for me.

Who isn't selfish, insecure, or nieve.


Only a few faces pop up like blooms of a flower.

They are bright wild colors in my life.

These colors make me smile and feel loved.

Why does one flower look dull?

You don't know how to be a friend if you tried.


I tell you, but you never understand, ever.
Your the wilting flower, the others are growing more vibrant.

The petals rising, the smell devine.

You are sunken and bitter, do you even care? No.


You let stupid things get in the way, stupid f*****g things.

You don't even see, your thick self absorbed head will never see.

Your changing... what the hell happend?

I don't get you anymore, we don't think the same things, we are a different species.

You are no flower to me.

You are a weed. An ugly weed growing into something terrible, something much worse.

This weed must be plucked if it keeps growing this way.

But of course, you haven't got the slightest clue what you've done.

There are far more important things to worry about other than your best friends right?

Clearly to you there is.

Another release, sorry for the language... sometimes I need strong words to get out my strong feelings.

I thought this was beautiful!! Even with the language....it intensified it!! I thought it was beautiful cuz u start off by mentioning how u care about ppl but then u change it to not liking this one person =) very unique!!! I like it alot!! And I like how in most of ur poems u lead ppl to believe one thing and then it turns out completely different =)

Powerfully expressive, and the metaphor is so vivid... Used to tend a garden and the weeds tended to outnumber the flowers, but it was still worth every bit of struggle... Painful though, your words of a friend altering in front of you... so very painful...
