Dandelion

You pick me up

Pull me out of the ground

Kill me

But to add on to that

Because that’s not enough

You have to blow me away

You do it to benefit you

So you can wish something that won’t come true

I fly away into the abyss

Not continuing to grow

Just so that you

So that you could make a wish

Just one silly wish.

This piece, is something I wrote over the summer for my creative writing class. I wrote it while out in nature on a trip with my friends. After blowing away a dandelion, I thought about how that resembles many peoples relationships.
