Dandelions

I was a dandelion in an ocean of tears
Years of the rain wash out the sun 
And leave the pain 
Never feel safe enough to breathe and grow free

I was a dandelion who needed the sun 
But I was left in the shade
To wither and grey

Caution out 
I’m gonna drown
My roots can’t take anymore
And if I go i’ll know I’m not wanted forevermore
I know I won’t be missed 
I’m just a burden so I’ll carry that weight 
Till my grave

I wasn’t ok 
But I tried to be
For the people around me 
Tried to bloom in the shade 
Till I couldn’t and gave away 
Let my pain take over
Let it run amok 
Let the rain fall in the grey

On one fateful day
My luck swayed
Like the breeze on an autumn day
Another dandelion grew
Understood the pain, the rain, the grey I went through
Then blossomed into a flower so bright

No longer the rain 
No longer the pain 
Saw the sun rise on that day
I found the hope
Maybe I was ok 
This dandelion who bloomed so bright
Made me see the light

Caution out 
I may burn from the light
The sun is shining so bright
I know I won’t drown
I know I'll be missed wherever I go
And I know the brightest dandelion will always make the sun show
