The dandelions grow.
So,
I strangle
and I choke
in hopes to make them croak
I pull
and I tug.
I rip up, with a rush, the dirty lengthy roots
But every day another always shoots
I make them choke as I face their pure yellows
I make them drip white blood on my hands with strife
but no matter how hard I strangle
no matter how hard I tear
those beautiful wretched flowers crowd my life.

Author's Note
As pretty as a field of dandelions looks I can stand when one pops up in my garden. Just as in life weeds pop up every day without proper maintenance.
