[hometext] => Projecting your insecurity onto others, especially friends, is like poisoning them...
[bodytext] => I’ve got a toxic garden Growing in my backyard All my flowers made of poison, But friendship calls down my guard. To lay asleep in a patch of daises Awaken to petals dripping cyanide It’s like they plot to kill me Behind their lures they hide. They grow too tall, I think, I drown in the bragging weeds I give them more than plenty But still they cry of needs. I dare not sleep now, Vines around my neck creeping A slow strangle-me-silent So they won’t hear me weeping For the flowers they could have been The roses they were inside I told them every day they were, But didn't listen or thought I lied. I need not have passed under To feed their grassy bed If they had accepted what they were, Now I would not be dead.
