May, Myself and I; Sunflowers

Do sunflowers know

How tall they will grow

When they first break ground.


Stretching upwards

Towards the light

With the help of 

Rain and sun.


Conditions must be right

For them to sprout

Or they'll stay a seed

Until things change.

Do people know

How tall they will grow

When they first break ground.


Stretching upwards

Towards the light 

With the help of 

Tears and sun.


Conditions must be right

For us to sprout

Or we'll stay seeds

Forevermore

Until we see things change.
