The Monster and the Dandelion Song is "Ready Now" by dodie. ~~ When she came I smiled and I liked her her style and her smile and her wiles. And she liked me. This mess, unblessed, who when asked would say "yes." And for a few blissful days, we were together. But I saw her and I was so worried If I hurt her, what would that make me? So I left. And she forgave me and we healed. But... Looking back What would hurting her have made me that I wasn't already? A monster Insensitive Stupid a monster a monster A MONSTER inside my head There was a monster Covered in flames burning and incinerating anything it touched And I burned. I tried the blue a shell, of beautiful ocean waves Tried to douse those quickly growing flames But that shell slipped and tumbled from my fingers. It shattered and I shattered I tried to be better be a pillar of strength in this dark time for those who need it but i'm unfit for that like a rubber duck for a hammer I cracked under the weight I crumbled I burned and I shattered and I crumbled and I didn't get better They say you'll be OK but you DON'T GET BETTER. a s h e s And the monster sitting atop it's pile of scorched treasure slowly turning to ashes Sat for so long it began to turn to stone a stone monster, covered in ashes, with water leaking from its eyes. And just before it crumbled all together, It spied in this world of red and black Black BLACK It spied a small white puff that grew up and out of the cracked pavement A dandelion so fragile a whispered secret would blow it away and the monster paused and knelt by the weed and tried to dig it up. But that stubborn weed refused to budge. And the monster wondered What If I leave the weed be? And he fell asleep and woke up the next morning With HUNDREDS of dandelions covering the ground and reaching up up up towards the sun And the monster sighed and lay down in the dandelions. And while my monster Is still here, sometimes it burns the dandelions, I am healing growing anew Healing and growing so fragile I could blow away but I can breath now Ladies, Gentlemen and Everyone else, The Monster and the Dandelion. Thank you. ~~ End.
