Cravings
If our planet revolves around the sun,
What do the humans revolve around?
Surely every person on earth revolves around something
I know what I revolve around
Plants are something of an enigma to me
Some people say they’re alive
Scientists say they have no feelings or thoughts
I think plants have a way of getting back at someone for killing them
Wether it be a cactus that leaves pricks in your fingers
Or poison ivy that leaves you itchy for days
For me, plants affect me differently
They leave me thinking about them all day
For every thought I have
I think about plants
I think about how beautiful their colors are
I think about the way they make me feel
I think about what it would be like to simply grow out of the earth
No matter the climate
No matter the hardships they face through natural selection
They can disappear, and come back 3 years later like nothing happened
I want to be a plant
I want to sink into the soil
I want to live and die like nothing ever happened

Love the first two stanzas and the last one.
