The Cherry Blossom

The Cherry blossom
A cherry blossom
you can look you whole life looking for a perfect one
but what will you find no two are the same
without two being the same to set the standards
how's there perfect
you look for answers 
but you find a wall

there's a cherry blossom 
its on this tree 
it try's to stay strong 
but no matter it cant stop the tree from dyeing
so this blossom believes that its not as good as the others
just because it thinks the tree is dyeing
its falls off the tree

it was more perfect than it realized
how could it compare itself to the incomparable
if it could have gotten a single compliment it wouldn't of fallen
so all the other blossoms go on but that one is gone
forgotten forever

so next time we se a wilted blossom
its has to be perfect 
we need it to be perfect 
I need it to be perfect
you may not see it but every blossom is perfect
because how can you compare this blossom to all the others
its not the others so we cant
and it never will be so we will just sit and watch
to see what these blossoms do
