Daffodil

  
the beauty in you shines  
it's untarnished    
you speak from a true source    
of truth unblemished    
    
you don't care if the world doesn't like it    
honesty real honesty    
seems to be frowned upon in our culture    
but you serve it without flinching    
   
you have a sharp blade    
not dulled by the world's views    
you see the facts of things clearly    
I laughed at myself that I didn't see earlier    
   
us pushy little people    
all whining about nothing    
greedy little children    
throwing a fit cause we didn't get a piece of candy    
   
it's ridiculous really    
I'm guiltier than most    
when it comes to this bad behavior    
it's inexcusable    
   
slap handcuffs on my thoughts    
because I'm spreading immaturity    
damn it I feel bare where my fanny took a good beating    
   
raw truth served with a slice of how do you like those apples?    
   
I love it really I do    
I wanted to tell you    
just how much respect I have for you
