I sit by the window, soaking up the light,
Trying to grow but never reaching height.
Leaves turn toward warmth, but my roots feel tight,
Longing to bloom but stuck inside.
People walk by, they say I bring peace,
A gentle presence, a soft release.
But inside I'm tangled, reaching in vain,
Yearning to heal yet holding my pain.
I wanna be like a houseplant,
Giving love without a demand.
Bringing life into the quiet space,
But I can’t seem to find my place.
I wanna be like a houseplant,
Breathing peace into every hand.
Soft and still, yet strong inside,
But my heart keeps running, trying to hide.
They water me when they remember I’m here,
I stand still while seasons disappear.
Sunrise, sunset, days feel the same,
Rooted in hope, but trapped in my name.
Maybe one day, I’ll break the pot,
Stretch my branches, love what I’ve got.
No longer waiting just to be seen,
Growing wild, growing free.
I wanna be like a houseplant,
Giving love without a demand.
Bringing life into the quiet space,
But I can’t seem to find my place.
I wanna be like a houseplant,
Breathing peace into every hand.
Soft and still, yet strong inside,
But my heart keeps running, trying to hide.
