Bad Start

Why do I always start off bad? 
       Can't things ever sprout like their suppose to?
               Like in the grass 
            No cause it's me my flowers sprout 
                 through concrete
                    Solid and hard
                       Never naturally
                      But some how 
                         My seeds get fertilized
                                and Flowers grow 
                              Dispite all the odds
                                Against them 
                                    But why the hard way?
                                      Explain to me how
                                     I always think my way is right
                                      But my way is the hardest 
                                        Is it just for laughs
                                          Honestly tell me?  
                                            You watch me fall
                                             For the wrong people
                                               and as my heart gets deeper 
                                                   You fill me with a sense of trust
                                                  Watching as I make a lil thing into something
                                                             Giving me false hope
                                                              Not this time
                                                           If your going to go pouring on my parade
                                                                Warn me a head of time 
                                                                       So I can run far far 
                                                                              away from my 
                                                                                    instincts
