Potted plant, oh potted plant
sitting in the middle of the garden
how pretty you look,
your leaves all green, your petals full bloom
you've got all the sun you need,
and all the water that you want
And yet they dont know, oh no they dont
of the stifling heat that burns you petals
or the excess water that rots your roots
and yet you struggle to survive
and yet you try to be strong
and not a sign you try to show
you glitter with beauty on the outside
and nobody knows of the truth
oblivious, they envy you
not knowing that you're dying inside
oh no they dont
and none the wiser they look at you,
admire you
until one day they come to find
a plant withered and dead
sitting in the middle of the garden
how pretty you look,
your leaves all green, your petals full bloom
you've got all the sun you need,
and all the water that you want
And yet they dont know, oh no they dont
of the stifling heat that burns you petals
or the excess water that rots your roots
and yet you struggle to survive
and yet you try to be strong
and not a sign you try to show
you glitter with beauty on the outside
and nobody knows of the truth
oblivious, they envy you
not knowing that you're dying inside
oh no they dont
and none the wiser they look at you,
admire you
until one day they come to find
a plant withered and dead

~ Fairytales dont always have a happy ending, do they? ~

In reality, there will be happy endings and sad endings, it's all part of life. And we all are trying to work our way to the happy endings till we have it.
The one fairytale which doesn't end with happy ending is "Pan's Labyrinth".
Wasn't Boy's Don't Cry a movie?
Legolas: Pan Labyrinth is a happy ending what. Death but moved on to a better life.
That's so deep. On so many levels. Thanks for sharing.
