Excluded

It's a beautiful thing, to have
friends, especially after
flowers pour from my lungs
along with laughter,

The petals gently sway
to a slow, upbeat song,
ignoring being left out
or the melody sounding wrong

It's lovely to be a garden,
the stems tightly weave
inside my throat,
beautiful, but I can't breathe.
