I'm a blade of grass.
In a field of wild flowers.
I'm trying so hard to bloom for you,
But I'm stuck here.

I watch the sky change from orange to pink to black to blue.
Am I really wasting myself on this feeling?

I've smoked too many.
I inhale you in,
but I can't breathe out...
Can't breathe at all.

I'm just another blade of grass.
I stand here, strong and tall, robust and straight,
green beyond all the fruitfulness of my imagination
yet, I still bend in your wind.

I can't let you in anymore than this...
What do you want from me?

I'm just a blade of grass.
Trying so hard to figure out my place.



help me. give me something to hold on to.
