It's the first day of school.

Decked out

In new clothes,

And a trendy backpack.

You sit and wait.

Waiting for someone

To bring you flowers.

Time goes on.

No one stops.

I sit down at the gym.

People are hugging,

And laughing,

And having the time of their lives.

You're waiting.

Waiting for someone

To bring you flowers.

You realize

You're all alone.

No one's here for you.

I'm waiting for someone to smile.

To smile and say hi.

Maybe talk for a while.

No one says hi.

You get up.

You find a way.

No one will save you.

Be there for yourself,

And plant your own garden

Weeds turn into flowers.

And color pops out again.

Somebody stops,

And brings you flowers.

You say no.

I've got enough.

I've got myself.

That's good enough for me.
