I live in a world

where a bud is a flower

where girls are charlattans

and boys are cowards

all bark and no bite

all shot and no powder

 

I live in a world

where a bud is a flower

where my skin is a relationship

and we're often sour

the leader and the head

my boss as you may

leaves all option and no opinion

because they have the last say

 

I live in a world 

where buds are flowers

where adolesent years

are more than an adults

i learn in a cell

where breaks are short

and the most fun I have 

is in a class with one sport

 

I live in a world

where children are buds

and they are also flowers

these buds wait

for the constant maturing showers

each bud is the same

goes through the same problems

but someway

somehow

they are different flowers
