"Hey you bastards, I’m still here"
(Papillon: 1973 movie, spoken by Steve McQueen)
You cast me off
Exiled me
To live with ancient trees
Because I wasn’t like the rest
Didn’t meet your vision
Of a garden citizen.
I had a hard life
Fighting to survive
Always neglected
I could have been beautiful
But you decided otherwise
And sent me away,
Expecting me to die peaceful.
But I’m still here you bastards
And this is my fuck you flower.
