Instruction Manual

daisydoo

If you love me, read the warning labels.

I crack under pressure,

Cry when the noise is too loud,

I bite when cornered,

And I break quietly,

Like a dropped glass no one hears

Until someone steps on a shard.

 

I come with damage,

 I come with history.

Love me like a secondhand book 

Gently, with curiosity,

 Knowing some pages are missing

And some have blood on them

That some people have wrote on the pages

Leaving marks and tears.

 

So before you sign the contract to know me,

Peer into the instruction manual.

Watch the preview video

I’m a handful,

But I’ll give you all I have,

Good and bad.

    We all come with damage and flaws as well as no warrantee. A good read

      We all do and it's hard to get people to accept us that way sometimes. Thank you
