Keep off the grass - *TW* A poem about society ignoring abuse

Keep Off The Grass!

You all live your life there on the grass,
Where the buttercups and flowers grow,
Where the only time the sun gives its last,
Is at night when it is tired of it’s glow.

I live in the dirt with all of the worms,
They wiggle beside me and slither,
They crawl all over and carry the germs,
Meanwhile I fade and wither.

The dirt is always there under the grass,
You don’t look beneath its green,
You know it’s there but you give it a pass,
But I’m in the dirt and I need to be seen.

I peek my head up from time to time,
I try to stay and make it last,
But every time I think it’s mine,
Back into the dirt I’m cast.

You don’t belong here in the sun,
Please keep off the grass,
You better go before you ruin the fun,
Please remove the shadow you cast.
