Pretty Yellow Flowers

Chop pop chop pop
The dandelions die or do they why
We mow em off just cut off their heads
Like Marie and Lois but are they dead
Character flaws coming up short
Not letting go of things I can't change
Living in yesterdays ick
Planning tomorrows today
Not being right here right now
These are the things that keep me sick
My muddled messed morass of a mind
Makes me mope and think of dope
Yet I know I can't and with help I shant
I'll just dig deeper get at the root
Say scuts fuck you to a drink or a hoot
I am now willing to give it away
To live in the now just for today
Feel all the feelings that pervade my soul
Deal with them all my life's number one goal
One of these days my lawn will be green
Free of the flowers that made me so mean
Yet today one reared its head
Fkn Monday I should have stayed in bed
My temper tantrum made me see
I ain't no saint. I'm just me
The weeds do whither white fluff balls blow
Land germinate new ones grow
Resentment fear a character flaw
Things that paw things that gnaw
Arrested development internal angst
A way out really golly thanks
Honesty openness and being willing to grow
Meditate pray listen and learn
Forgive all the schmucks who've gave you bad turn
These are some of the tools I use every day
To keep the pretty yellow flowers at bay
