Rabbit

I am conflicted

I am born

I am the rabbit

Whose heart is torn



Call me cherry blossom

For I bloom my best in spring

But this soil has no good to it

So I spread my wings.



And I watched you ring my scrawny neck


And cut my freedom away


Just to leave me aside.



So i did what i do best


Found a place to hide.



I am the rabbit whose heart seems to wilt

But it beats so fast at the slightest tilt


And I don't know where I'm going in this life

And i was hoping you'd help me

And that you'd put down the knife



So call me cherry blossom.

I'll try my best to sing

About how you're the greatest thing

The greatest most powerful king.



But put down the blade

Look at all these scars

All the wounds you've made


Now I question love

Now I question you

For I am the rabbit,

asking:

what do I do



With no answer, you walked away.

And for a while I waited

every single day.



So here I am now


Standing in this spring breeze


I hear it whisper to me through the branches

saying..

Please.

Renewal is your jewel.

Standing up for yourself,

thats the very first rule




So,

now am i the rabbit who's been so blind?

Lead to torture,

friends far behind?


I scoff and I jitter.

Cry and then shiver.

I've realized the pain

Every truth in my body hits me..

every single grain..



Seasons have reversed

Winter again?

I'm frozen in ice

Where are my friends?


Call me cherry blossom

Call me the rabbit

Call me whatever

Call me a bad habit


So I waited for all the snow

To hurry up and melt

To turn into water

To forget what i felt


And though it took me so long

And though I still see the cracks

The sun now shines on me

And heals everything i lacked.




So Spring is now Summer

I am full and alive

I am looking at the past

Ready to strive



At this season

i dare you to bring

the blade that cut me

As i would sing


But now my bark is too thick

and my roots are too deep

There is nothing for you here

Read em' and weep


And so as i spread my wings

once again

i tasted the sky

then saw my friends.


Never again will i complain

about about the soil not being good enough

About how my branches strain.


For i am the rabbit

Who has learned a lesson twice my size

Never give your heart to someone

Who finds your pain

a prize.
