to be a flower
is to bend and sway
to blow in the breeze
this way and that
to never get to choose
where the wind takes you
-
to be a flower
is to be light and sweet
colorful and lovely
small and fragile
to be pointed at
seeked out
gawked at
to be loved from afar
destined to be ruined up close
-
to be a flower
is to die slowly
to have parts of yourself torn
ripped away at
to be left to wither
when the sun
once so bright
never shines upon you again
-
to be a flower
is to see yourself everywhere
yet be alone
unable to move or breathe
with stem cracked
with petals torn
with blood on the leaves

I want to erase the tears of all those who trusted in hope; I want them to be left with a smile on their faces.
